Reason: bad title
So you have a single cab Long box and want to put a extended cab and short box on your frame?????Would it not be easier to find and extended cab short box with a blown engine and swap your drivetrain to it????????
no i have a standard cab short box..... and i want to put a extended cab... on it . and make a shorty box.. for it... by cutting the old one and sectioning it to fit...

Kinda like the Exploder SportTrac, huh? Might look slick! If you were closer to NC I have a nice '95 extended cab body you could get ...... cheap!
A quick photo"chop" of my '95.

i was thinkin about this to just never had time to post somthin up about it found a perfect 250 extended cab dosent have dash or nothin but only wants 75 bucks for it
i'm not sure i like the rear chopped. it looks OK, but the front is a lot more noticeable. the back would be less work (i think), but chopping the front might be worth the extra effort
You can chop the back, alot of offroaders do it to give a better approch/departure angle. i personally would say take the extra time and chop the front looks nicer. it gives it the full size sport trac look.
