I think that it would look a lot better to do the doors than the back of the cab. If you do it let us see what it looks like. I think that stretch doors would be the ultimate thing to make a unique truck. Good luck!

Brand new box sides built and were even cutting and adding 9" to the frame so it will look correct.

Thanks to everyone who pushed me! I needed the extra nudge and vote of confidence. My truck it going to be a show stopper!!!!
