1985 F250 Cab Strech
I have been thinking for a while about converting my ol' 250 supercab into a crew cab. I dont want to swap cab styles, instead I want to add a second door and keep about 18" of my super cab behind the second door. If any one has done anything similar to this and has suggestions that would be great.
Also any one who has streching lessons learned and is willing to shre the secrets of getting it done right your help would be greatly appreciated!

There is no purpose in doing this? The factory made crew cabs. Just buy one, gut it out, and put all your supercab stuff inside it. Very easy. Plus you will need the frame anyway, so the crewcab will fit. It's won't fit a supercab frame.
I don't think you will find anyone who has ever stretched one of the other style cabs into a crewcab, it's just too easy to find a factory job.

I seen a Bronco body on a F350 crew cab frame once. Was intresting looking with the short box in the back. I don't have any further info on it I wished I had the camera to take photos....

i believe he wants the additional 18" behind the double door cab, so you would see 2 doors, plus the supercab window. it seems like in order to do this, you would have to join 2 trucks together. the back end 18" of cab and bed and frame, to the front half of a crew cab just short of the back wall? major custom modification. plus how would you get the roof contours to line up?
