Re: Extended Cab Pickup
I think there was a picture in the old Brookville Roadster catalog.

Re: Extended Cab Pickup
that custom black Model "J" looks very nice. Think how much effort it takes to design, fabricate and complete a one-off. And it looks period authentic (kind of) but still, very nice work to appreciate.

Re: Extended Cab Pickup
I suspect that vendors are buying these parts from a single supplier. Howell’s in Texas supplied my 28-29 cab extension parts through Bert’s. I did talk to the people at Howell’s and then placed the order with Bert’s.

Re: Extended Cab Pickup
Thank you....I see your truck in your signature but could you post a few photos as attachments? Could you also tell us more about what you had to do to extend your cab?

Re: Extended Cab Pickup
A year or so ago, there was a guy who was selling a 29 extended cab, he just used two more rear cab sides and welded then together. He did a nice job, but just didn't look quite right to me.

Re: Extended Cab Pickup
It may not work for you but try taking the back cushion out and see if that gives enough room for you. I had a 30 pickup an made a back out wood and foam cushion and gained enough to drive without a problem good luck

Re: Extended Cab Pickup
Here are some assembly shots. Used a wood kit from Bert's and then created my own roof bows from white oak. Punched louvers in the corner panels before assembly.

Re: Extended Cab Pickup
Good mirrors with 3” convex spots help eliminate blind spots. Yes, leg room is no longer an issue. Plenty of secure storage.

Re: Extended Cab Pickup
Do you have anymore full side views? I like your wood bed and was wondering if you went stock length or shortened it by 6 inches?
My plan is to build a daily driver as I work about 10 miles from home but at 6'3'' the stock cab will not let me work the clutch. |

Re: Extended Cab Pickup
The stock square cabs are blind babies anyway.You'll just make it a little blinder,and you'll get used to it.Everything's a tradeoff,you'll get more legroom,but you'll have to deal with less visibility.You are talking a closed cab right? I'm seeing a lot of answers about open cabs,and i'm assuming you're talking closed cab from the blind spot questions.

Re: Extended Cab Pickup
Again, blind spots are not an issue with good mirrors. Too, much easier to see the right side mirror in an extended cab with a passenger

Re: Extended Cab Pickup
I always found it interesting that Jim Bob's truck (Waltons) could seat three people across. Mighty tight in my truck.
Dad did find the "swing away gearshift lever" convenient when he went on a date. Joe K
