    Happy to see you're coming along. I lost track of this thread a while back....when there was still snow.
    Best wishes

    Really been debating acquiring a 2nd cab and building myself a crew cab. Or opening up the back wall and attaching a sleeper to the back with a big bench seat.

    I will never own a regular cab pickup again . Sounds like you will be using this like a pickup ...

    Crew cab would be awesome! Do you have enough frame length for it? Well you can handle that. You have already done harder things.

    I've got about 150" of frame space from rear of cab to the end of the frame rail. I could definitely fit a 48" flat top behind the cab.

    Mine is. I refuse to go full sellout and be forced into buying what everybody else thinks I should have just because it’s the “in” thing to do now.

    I have a regular cab truck also. My wife has a four door. We do not have a car. That camper thing he is talking about would be great with a four door cab. The whole family can ride and it would be a real looker.

    Great job Bruce!
    Good seeing the old gal resurrected.

    Ps. I drive a regular cab pickup truck, with 8' box, I haul stuff.

    My wife bought aGMC Sierra 4 door with 8 foot bed Duramax/Allison 4 x 4 and a 14' Load Runner trailer. I have a cargo van and 4x8 trailer. Both are content for now. I used to have a 3/4 ton Chev with a canopy but got tired of my tools getting wet
