Part of me wants to build two trucks ('48 on original frame, '53 on my S-10 fram), the other part of me wants to sell the '53 cab to help fund the '48 and help out a fellow 'bolter....and yet part of me wants to take the two cabs and weld together for either an extended cab or a quad cab setup.
I have seen Marks extended AD and it is different Maybe an quad cab? Anyone ever see a quad-cab AD? If so, any picks?

I am not fond of quad cabs anyway, in fact I'm not fond of the extended cabs even though I have one. It's hard to beat the looks of a regular cab.
Scott take the rust free cab and swap out the three window section for five windows.
My 3 cents...
