Stretched 72 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

texaskoi · 11-04-2007, 02:34 PM

Does anyone have some pics of streched truck cabs? I want to strech my cab on my 72 because I am a big guy and need the leg room.

I plan on going 6 to 8 inchs.

Dont have any pics, But I did see a feature of a stretched 71-72 in a magazine not too long ago. It was a baby blue primered, stretched of course, bagged and they even made it into a dually!..pretty cool..Ill double check to see what mag it was but i believe it was in Street Trucks..Try searching around on their website, theyve got tons of pics.

My fault, Its in SPORT TRUCKS DEC 07 issue..Might still be in stores..and actually the truck is One C-10suburban and two C10 cabs welded together..I dont think you wanted to go that big, but hey its something worth lookin at..This truck is sick and it only got a 1 page spread..Hope this helped a little.

Thanks guys, I did see that one. I am looking for a pic of a short bed with a small strech just to get an idea how it will look. I am 6-03 and could use the leg room; havent seen any others like that.

Mkcustums · 11-04-2007, 08:34 PM

There are a few around. I lost all my pictures of '67-'72's, file got deleted and not by my doing. There actually were a few around here in Portland and one in Bend. I saw one in person just at a parking lot but it was a long bed, perfect condition but stock height. Never seen a short bed that I can recall. If I see any I'll post back with pictures.

Board member Rokcrln is doing a mod to his pedals and his seat that should net several inches of leg room. Try sending him a PM, he does some awesome builds and usually documents them for the board.

I was thinking this too, way easier than cutting your cab up. I changed my seat out and gained a whole lot of room compared to the factory bench.

Hmm, this truck seems to be making the rounds. I saw it at Slamfest in Tampa last month. It's got the biggest triangulated 4-link I've ever seen. Lots of work left to go on it. They took a 'burban and grafted the rear cab section from a truck to it. It looked to be done fairly cleanly.
