utilizing that combo with the scs bed should get the bed looking nice and centered.

Thats my thought. Are there any camper specials without the tire carrier like in that last pic?

Are the bedsides available as repops?

camper specials didn't have the spare tire in the side, only Super Camper Specials did

A crew cab is just too long. A LWB is just about right. Wife would have a hard time driving a truck that long. If I have to convert a 2wd frame to 4wd, no big deal. I can do that.

I am gonna piece together from threads on here and maybe be able to explain myself better.

I grabbed these out of the cab on a bronco frame thread.

If I just slap a crew onto a LWB, it will look like this extended cab on a SWB. the bed looks like crap.




If I used a LWB or camper special frame then the bed would wind up looking like this cab on a Bronco frame.
holy smokes! i am currently building a 2013 luxury pre runner with all the bells n whistles, but i've always love 1979 (73-79) body style and after leaving the shop the other day, i thought, wouldn't it be killer to have an extra cab 79, but with a 5.5 bed, like the new trucks,"i wonder if anyone has done that?" , and BAM! here it is! albeit an ancient forgotten thread , but wow! that blue truck is EXACTLY what i was thinking about. love it! want it!

Why waste the time looking for a SCS bed? Just move the rear spring hangers back to the WB you want and section the rear of a standard bed. Mimic the rear dimensions of a Bronco so you can use a bronco fuel tank and bumper brackets.
