'48-'50 Cab Extension

Has anyone ever extended the cab on their F sieries to create a "crew cab"? Any pictures? Suggestions? I have big plans to do this with an F8
BTW - I'm a long time follower but recent member of the forum. I love what I've been reading. I've learned so much.

It has been done, including by the after market when these trucks were new. A Google image search is a good place to start: https://www.google.com/search?q=1950...=isch&imgdii=_

Here's my pictures of a period after market crew cab. With the headliner out you can see how they did the roof. I made the guy an offer for this, but got nowhere. Stu

Great pics Stu! That will help a ton. Too bad you couldn't get him to cut loose of it. Is it still sitting there?

The guy bought it at auction and paid a little less than $5000 iirc (the sale record I found on-line). So with fees figure 5 grand. I offered $7000 as I recall. Wasn't interested. Phone number is on the sign. Stu
