Crew cab frame swap

Anyone ever put and extended cab body onto a single cab highboy frame? If so any suggestions on how to get the body panels lined up straight? I just set the cab on and found out the back of the cab is touchin the frame instead of resting on a body mount??

that pre-runner truck has a very professional look to it.

I wonder how much money is in it in parts.

Thanks for the opinion. Everybody has one & is welcome to theirs, but I'd have to disagree with yours & how setting a truck up as a prerunner "ruins" it.
Might be kind of like my opinion that guys doing wood door panels, shift ***** and dash trim stuff "ruins" a truck. Same thing with cab lights. Fugly as all hell! Not all people share those thoughts though.

I wanna say "Silverlake Sand Dunes", but I may be wrong.

My guess is he may have $30k in parts if you include the motor. I'd also guess his high price tag comes from him trying to get back the labor he paid to have it built, painted, etc. And then probably shipping from here in the Southwest to up North for all the parts!
As far as a true "prerunner" it seems to be a decent, but mild build. Just an autofab kit up front & then leafs in the back are fairly low end for a dedicated dirt truck like I think he wants that thing to be.

No build thread on the truck but he is willing to provide any information that's wanted through his Email.

Add does not say 4x4, at least I could not find that statement. Looks 2wd and I see no lock in/out in the front wheel center hub, just a shiny cap like the rear one.

Nice truck, wow price for a 2wd.

If that is an original Paint truck it is worth 12k to me all day.

A properly done paint job is 8k alone.

I have a pic of the interior and just realized that the back seat is a black one and will fit in the front of ol red very well. Jy run tomorrow and the yellow one does not look to have 3 pt set up belts. Maybe the blue one will?
