Crew Cab Prerunners?

[zipperhead]

I am in the process of working on my 1983 GMC 1-ton Crew cab long bed 2x4 & I am debating on how much to shorten the frame, I like how the Tacoma crew cabs look but that would be too short to fit a bike in the back(maybe), the glass I am going to get is the same that Newhan used on his red chevy & I will probably end up overlapping the cab a little to get the bed length & as close to the wheel base I need. Should be a fun truck when finished.....my request is can anyone supply me w/ old/ new school pics of ANY year, manuf., 4x4 or 2x4, what ever pics that would be simuliar to what I have got going? Thanks guys!

are you sealing the back doors in order to overlap the fiberglass?

Make the bedsides 2 pieces so that part of the bedside is attached to the door permanately so it can swing with the door.

That is the plan, I got under the truck last night & decided that I will bee taking 28" out between the cab & rear axle. I want the rear doors to be functional so I will be making it so the rear doors have a portion of the bedside attacted. So the wheelbase will go from 164" to 136" which is pretty close to where I want to be, anyone got any bedsides that match my year?

evan evans used to have the mold to some really nice old body style glass that he used on his blazer but you could mount to a p/u. i had them on my old chevy prerunner, pm me your email addy and i will send you some pics.

I think this prerunner fits in the year range:

That thing looks GREAT!!!!

If anyone gets more pics would you please post them?

I'm looking to do a similar thing except straight axle 4wd with spring under and c-notched frame. I'd like to follow anyones progress with a similar build.

For fiberglass, I was thinking of McNeil Racing's 73-91 blazer conversion to 2006. They have fenders and bedsides. I estimated the wheelbase would be 144" maybe too long.
