'66 extended cab????

Has any one here successfully turned one our beloved slicks into an exteded cab truck that actually looks like it came from the factory? I have been kicking this idea around in my head and thought I would check with more knowledgable people. Without major metal fab tools I figure it would be extremely difficult but possible with 2 extra sets of doors to get the window opening right. This is not something I'm sure I want to attempt, I just wanted to see what other think. Personally I think it would look great.

There was a magazine article(short feature) some time ago, maybe as much as 3-4 years. It was very high budget, but it looked awesome!

There is a guy in Redmond OR, That did it and it looked stock. It was very cool looking. He did it out of his own garage and it took him a long time. But for him it was worth it.

Plenty of room for a sound system in that truck.

I believe the one in Remond was red. I haven't seen it for a while. But it was a very nicely done ride.

John,

Pics would be great, I have seen a long bed uni-body that was not executed very well, not that I could do better, if I had pics I could better picture the work ahead of me.
Thanks, Kris

Kris, I am surprised no one else has chimed in about seeing it at the Run To The Rock show. I also know that a lot of Tenn. folks show there and can't imagine it wasn't at the Nationals since it is maybe a hundred miles away.

I haven't run across any photos yet. There is a cat digitrucker that had one of my shows photos up on his site. If you can find it the truck could be in there. Don't know for sure.

That was a busted hard drive and a move back.
