Progress
Getting the new powerstroke firewall and floorpan fitted into the cab man it's been a ton of work but when you want something one off it takes time.

Wowzers. Very cool concept. Gotta love the Scorpion diesel for sure; power for DAYS! This should be a rocking ride when done. I hope you continue to update here as well.

Looks like a really cool build! By mega cab, do mean like the dodge mega cabs(4 doors with a big back seat)? Or are making it a 6 door with that extra cab?

LOL, I can only imagine. Please post some progress pics, I'm sure stretching the cab is going to be a healthy challenge.

I like the concept. For me megacabs are hit or miss depending on the overall stance of the truck. Are you shortening the bed to keep overall length the same, or adding the rear door and mega sections and pushing the stock 6 ft bed back? It's a bit hard to tell from the rendering.

Makes sense. It looked like at least the rear is flared. I look forward to seeing the progress and finished product

Best of luck, especially with the crewcab only nuances, one of which you're eliminating by going with full front doors in the rear.
