question on side glass?
If doing what is your situation on side glass or not glass. this would be the interesting part to me. I think it would take some time and a good shop to do it up straight. might have to borrow from a supercab dent side truck for glass. I'm having to repair a crew cab with some help from some of my buddies. I'm a good welder/mechanic but for some reason body work isn't my specialty. I do OK but want better than I can do. I leave this to my expert friends who make a livin at it. The top of cab could be interesting. and moving cab mounts back and modifying frame for new mounts would take a little time. just been messing with this stuff lately and things I can think of at the time. Its doable and I understand wanting more room. screw the rules build what you want is what I say. good luck and keep us informed. I need to get some pictures of my project at hand for you guys.

A guy up here has done that with his truck and it turned out really good. He took a 4 door cab (bump side) and if memory serves right used 17" of the rear part of the cab, used the door skins to make the 1/4 panel and fabricated in early 90's 1/4 glass then proceeded to use the full interior from the 90's truck, like I said it actually looked as it left the factory that way.

He's asking $5500.
If I hadn't just finished dumping $20,000 in mine, I'd buy it!!

Yes, it's a very nice truck - original interior is in VERY GOOD condition - including two-toned rubber floor mat - has not holes in it!! Truck has been repainted outside but I believe it is correct colors. Truck shows really low mileage, which I believe to be correct, as the doors shut so tight, the steering wheel in is great shape etc. Does have a new dash cover over the original dash pad - but it's hard to tell it's not original.

Here's the only pic I have showing the dash pad cover - it really does fit nice and tight - difficult to tell it's a cover without really looking at it. It wraps the front edge and returns under so it really makes a snug fit. The covers cost about $100 vs a new dashpad which is about $350+
