Cool, I thought about doing this same thing when I did mine but decided it was too detailed for me to explain it all. Cant wait to see how you do yours since I think I did mine the hard way.

I'll let you use my truck to document the conversion, LOL. I'm not that far from Valdosta.

Welding in a big back window frame. I had the rear of a BBW cab laying around for a few years. I sold it because I didn't have the stones to take a saw to my cab.

Hats off to anyone with guts to take it on.

Thank you. Are we to feel inadequate if we just have a small one? My wife seems to think the smaller one is ok.

I get tired enough of acronyms at work and having to carry my cheat sheet around to decode them let alone here. Ben down that "other' BBW route and I'm not up to that anymore.

Kit or cut and paste?

NEWFISHER · 11-13-2012, 07:29 PM

man, this thread has more humor in it than most others and there hasn't been a single pic or tech! LOL

OrrieG · 11-13-2012, 08:03 PM

I prefer my small one, less unkeep and expense.

Speedbumpauto · 11-13-2012, 08:06 PM

I cut the top so my small one looks bigger.

Ouch! No way I'm doin' that!

thump16 · 11-13-2012, 08:18 PM

It will be in a seperate post as I go along with the build. There was quite a bit of bondo and filler in my original cab corners so I am taking small steps. But i wanted to show you guys the easy stuff first. i wont be installing the back end until I have sand blasted the cab. there are a few parts on the inner cab that will have to be trimmed.

**mr48chev** · 11-13-2012, 11:27 PM

That's a well done thread, along with converting to big back window it might show a few guys that they can save a cab that has a beat up back panel in a way besides beating out the panel.
