The reason I asked for the measurement on the rear door on a crew cab was because I was wondering what the length difference was on a crew cab short bed vs an ext cab long bed. I was thinking my crew cab body would look pretty good on my ext cab lol. Turns out, the ext cab long bed is 8" longer than a crew short bed.... thatd be a heck of a gap somewhere lol. I could build my own 7" bed! Whos the body man on here! Lol

The vids worked for me Phil. Some good runs - those semis were hauling the mail with that sled on the back for sure.

I couldn't see the vids Phil. Probably because I'm on a iPhone. Have you guys seen the truck rodeos. Most of the trucks are working trucks and in the races they weigh in at 140,000 pounds starting on the flat and hitting a hill. Pretty crazy when you can twist the frame enough to lift a tire on a street truck

I've seen clips of those rodeos before. Some serious HP being put down by those trucks - as you mentioned when they generate so much that they're twisting the frame and bringing wheels up, that's some power.

Sorry gents.

Right Gabe!


But heck yeah if JP gets stuff together we can do what we did with Todd. Meet up and plow through 2 or 3 projects in one day.

Although we'd have to convince Bill and Tyler to come out....lol
Did you install even one valve spring in his truck??? Nope....

We're not quite that far north, Glenn but we're not too far away either. We're in Holland. PM me or something if you want to take some time and make a little road trip. We've got a whole herd of kids here (7 between us and our friends that we made the trip with) or I would volunteer to meet you somewhere in between. Looks like we are right at about 2 hours away. That may be too far for a day trip with the toad, lol.

Any progress on getting your camper fixed?
