    has anyone ever done it or seen it done? i know i would have to cut the bed down in the front and move the rear cab mount and im sure a few other things but its just an idea ive been thinking about.

    Cant say that I've seen it done before. I'm picturing it looking sort of like a Honda Ridgeline afterwards.

    sure why not. I would assume it would look similar to the high$ fullsize prerunners. You may have to notch the rear of the cab where the frame kicks up. Do you have glass on the rear of your truck? You could probably notch the fiberglass around the cab and mount it to the extra-cab part. Might look funny but I think it could work.

    That just looks bobbed to me. An Extra Cab on a standard cab fame the rear wheel opening would almost touch the cab. I put a 95 extra cab on a 1985 extra cab frame and we had to take a ton out of the front of the bed. It was a while ago, but I believe I had something like a 4 foot bed with the bob.

    It also had a 2RZ and 37's :waytogo:

    Only pick i could find:

    Done it... PITA. Hacked 18.5 inches out the front of the bed, and moved the bulkhead back. Had to reform the front wheelwell arch. Notching the rear floor of the cab is necessary. I moved the rear cab mounts back on the frame. Bunch of stuff that didn't occur to me beforehand... Also had to cut out the driveshaft hump for clearance when riding low.

    Is there a purpose to this? Seems like too much work to be worth it. Personally, I like to see a ext. cab with a long bed. That thing would look like a train. Whoo whoo...!
