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.

ALL I CAN SAY IS OH MY GOD!!!!!!m You should see my truck it looks awesome. My Fabricator Dan @ YOUNGS WELDING AND RODS in ADAMS MN. is a miricle worker!! call him @ 507 582 3232. If you need anything done fabricating or designing he can do it. He is on the border of mN and Iowa.
When I get some pictures we will post them so you can see the progress.
Thanks to everyone who pushed me! I needed the extra nudge and vote of confidence. My truck it going to be a show stopper!!!!
