Body stretch for longer wheel base.

I saw this today and thought it was cool! Wish I could have kept my sas'd '86, this would have been a great project.

Dam, a lot of good work in to that rig!

Streched to 115.. hes still 11 shorter than me! Haha.

That is sweet!!! And red interior FTW :boink:

I called and talked to the guy. It's a great build and I would be seriously interested if the price was more reasonable. You never get out what you put into these rigs. For the price he's asking, I would want selectable lockers, and at least 4.88 gears, maybe a nice roll cage, ect. It is badass though!

wow i just saw this, anyone got details on the build thread? i'd like to see how he did the bodywork. i'd love to stretch mine about 4-5 inches

Here's mine. Stretched it 7 inches. Pretty much just layed out lines on my truck and did the exact same lines on my donor truck. From there I cut my truck out 7 inches back. On my donor I cut it 7 inches forward.

So do you transfer the inside too? For a more factory look or just extend the wheel well aft with some sheet metal?

Neat project, tons of work!

It doesn't look like he stretched the body, looks like he just moved the fender opening back.

I'd like to see pics of the inside of the bed - did you shift the the wheel well too?

 

[wing nut]

Yeah I cut out the inner fenderwells and made made my own. That was the hardest part. Only pics I could find at the moment

Wing Nut - nicely done!!!

For anyone interested here is a great build thread on moving the axle back and making it look good.
