I can really appreciate what it takes to build an extended cab truck. It's a ton of work, but something that I really enjoyed on mine.
I've seen many done so-so or just wrong, those look great!

I'm guessing the roof was the hardest part?

On mine, believe it or not, the drip rails were the hardest part. Difficult to get them to look right.
The roof can be tricky too...

I believe it. There is a lot of stuff going on in and around the drip rails.

One of the great hassles is that the cab is narrower at the back compared to the front.
