Re: This is how GM should have made the 4 door cab
Yep, I agree totally, much cleaner flowing design. Pre '73, GM farmed these out to aftermarket builders who believed styling was not important. Most used (4) front doors.

Re: This is how GM should have made the 4 door cab
The farmed out 4 doors have a lot more leg room I would bet. I kinda like 'em too.

Re: This is how GM should have made the 4 door cab
I'd love to see one of those trucks as a K20 with a Duramax/Allison, what a combination that would be!

Posted a request on how much the strech actually was but no reply so far. The Scott-Built style added 42" and a 1000lbs (800 cab 200 frame). Funny thing is they are still made with four front doors by KW and IH.

Re: This is how GM should have made the 4 door cab
Thats beautiful work indeed. Not to get off subject, but anyone have pics of stretched cabs?

Re: This is how GM should have made the 4 door cab
15k for a cab, can you say sticker shock!!! I'm sure it's worth every penny to have a rust free primmerd crew cab with glass. Couldn't think of a better start to a project.
