56 extended cab
I would like to know if anyone out there has done an extended cab for a 56 F-100, if so could someone send me diagrams, pictures, methods, or what procedures you took to complete it or if you know of a web site that has the procedures. I want to add about 20" to the cab and also thinking about adding a 3rd door on one side.
Thanks

56 extended cab
There were several at PF 2001 and the photos are on my website. I looked at the construction photos and it didn't look all that difficult (I realize that is a relative term!). However, it is a lot of work.
I observed an acquaintance create an extended cab on a '40 Chev PU and it was simply cutting and welding. He also added a retractible sunroof from an AUDI or VW.
Check out the member trucks @ FTE and write the owners for their tips.

56 extended cab
There is currently an extended cab on ebay. Look under "Collector Cars" and then under "Ford" and finally under "Pickups". I have also seen a 1956 Cab-Over-Engine made into a crew cab, and that one was really sweet.
