I have these ideas going through my head and so far it seems to be good. I haven`t bought the truck yet but I am looking. My question is, How much can be cut off of a cameo box and still have it look good? I have a family of five and would like to build an extended cab with enough room in back for a bench seat. I figure moving the gas tank under the box.Want to add 30" behind the doors for the back seat.And power windows. Alot more running through my head still.Thank you for the advice in advance.

my opinion: none, first because it's a short box anyway, only 6', which would leave a bed less than 4', and likely nothing left in front of the wheel opening - 2nd because original cameo 'glas bedsides are scarce .... ya need to use a longbox frame with the uncut short box behind the stretched cab, or better, find a TF suburban for the family
