Long bed half cab EB

Long bed half cab EB

Postby Justin » Sat May 17, 2014 12:38 pm

I've been thinking about a 12" stretch on my rig at some point waaaaay down the line, and came up with the idea of a longbed half cab. It could be done with a set of shortened F150 bed sides, resulting in a 5-6ish foot bed instead of the usual little tiny 4 foot one. Anyone know if it's been done? Can't find one anywhere on the interwebs, but am doubting that it's an original idea.

I saw a pic once upon a time over on CB.com.... The guy used part of the f100 cab, back portion , and basically did what you want to do. What was cool was the rear portion of the truck cab, with fuel tank... Bronco front and I am not sure how much was stretched. Pretty cool indeed

I hadn't thought of that. That would be cool.

Yup....

Been done. Seems like this is a build done in Utah but I don't recall. I just saved the photo.
