Hi Folks... I'm NEW here (this is my first post) so I guess I'm still a virgin, HAHAHA.
I am disabled and the Dr's want me to do some sort of activity for therapy. I decided I want to try and build me a truck for myself to drive... In any event I was curious if you might be able to give me a few pointers on a couple things. I see some "stretched" bodies (6" or 8") I'm curious about how they go about doing that. Obviously they cut the cab in half (in some sort of way) and added in sheet metal to make it longer. But theres the problem with the windows needing to be 'stretched' also so it all "works" together properly. I guess you have to get 'donor' window working from something else.??
Also, I'm kinda tall,.. and I'd like to have plenty of leg room and maybe even a little storgae room behind the drivers seat. I got plans for bucket seats,.. a console, etc... But thats all another topic. I'd also like to make the!
front and rear fenders wider also..?? Just curious if you might be willing to pass on a few pointers or a 'how too' so I get some ideas. and what I'm gonna run into.
I'd like to switch to suicide doors, but thats all stuff for later.
I "think" I got me a chassis lines up..??? but STILL need a truck body (anyone know of some good ones to work with??. I know it's a Chevy forum,.. but I'm kinda looking for a '40 or '41 Ford. I think the 40-45 Chevys look pretty cool also. SO I can work with any of them.
May see LOTS of me here... hope I don't get to be 'a pain'
