Building that crew cab long bed I always dreamed of. .

I guess I shouldn't complain though. . For the price to do an import and what I'm into this .. I'd have enough left over to sculpt a whole truck out of filler .. lol

One more photo for good measure. .

I just sent the bed on for fun..

Looks like it's shaping up nicely. One question, how are the side doors in the back going to open? Maybe you could use plexiglass and tint it for the curved pieces..

You should leave both door handles and make the rears open like french doors. Haha.

But seriously, great progress so far.

I like how big it is (that's what she said)

Have you seen any of the crew cab builds by Guilty By Design? One was a crew cab 90s Crew Cab Toyota Pickup. To do the roof he took a 4runner roof and shortened it so he could keep the welding at the ends instead of the middle. I'm not sure if you wanted to try that, if you got a roof from a small SUV like an older Bronco II it might be close to the length you would need but then again the width could be an issue.

Here are some links for you, page 18 is where he started the crew cab conversion - http://www.mazdabscene.com/threads/2074

I think I might just do a 4ft sliding rag top that will solve most of the roof

Got the cab off of the frame..

I'm going to do the work underneath the cab.. and seal it up..

Then it's time for frame work .. gonna get it set up for a 2 in stock floor body drop just to get it into the pinch weld a lil

Quick pick of the frame. . Tacked up so I can move it around

In the garage working away on the frame stretching
