Re: Anyone know more about this truck?
i can't imagine a back seat in a 12'' stretch, more likely for legroom and stuff

I would agree Ogre, I must say, it looks to be very well done.

Re: Anyone know more about this truck?
That looks like a well thought out truck that has great proportions on it. The size of the quarter windows give it the rolled out of the factory that way look rather than the done as an afterthought look that smaller or larger quarter windows would have given.
I'd drive it and grin from ear to ear myself. Plus the travel bags can fit behind the seat instead of in the bed.

Re: Anyone know more about this truck?
I really like it! Great craftsmanship!
I'd recommend anyone looking to shorten a long wheel base truck take a close look at this option!

My 1988 Nissan King Cab had those killer jump seats too!

Re: Anyone know more about this truck?
It looks very well done, and to be truthful, much like I had in mind for my build, 20 years ago. Seeing it done, I'm glad I didn't undertake that now. Not that I had the skills to pull it off anyway.

Re: Anyone know more about this truck?
Beautiful truck, amazing execution that looks well balanced which is tough to do as many of the extended cabs end up looking hacked. However...they should of rethought the filler door. IMO it is out of place and hurts the cleanliness of the lines.

Re: Anyone know more about this truck?
I would not have gone to all that work and leave the tank in the cab?

Re: Anyone know more about this truck?
Given how low the filler is they may of put it below the cab like a suburban or panel.
