| My Toyota Is Longer Than Yours
Time to check another build off the list. A Toyota Custom Cab. As the story goes, you'd buy a brand new Toyota truck from the dealer then it would be sent off to be cut and stretched like a limousine. There was a company called Fabco that made the fiberglass cab extension. The trucks were ridiculously long and just as ugly. My favorite combination. Extra long, extra adjustable GCM CMAX set to 15 inch wheelbase. BowHouse NCYota 152s. There's a gap to fill. What a monstrosity. Made some windows. Cut out the grille Preliminary coat of primer and some sanding. She's rough! But it looks right |

Owned one back when I graduated high school. Day after I graduated drove it from Florida to California, sleeping in the stretch part/sleeper. Loved taking it camping and fishing, But, someone liked it better than I did. It was stolen from the Marine recruiter as I was signing up. Fantastic build (as always). Can't wait to see it done.

Awesome! I love those old coach-built custom 1:1's. Looking forward to seeing the final result.

How were the cab extensions fitted out from the vendor? Were they just open space or did they have some type of "interior" in them? I know that I could gargle a search, I just prefer a bit of conversation if that's ok. |

Yep, mine had a bench seat that my dad and I modified to fold out like a futon. The trip to Cali. I still remember even though it was 30 years ago. And yes, everyone said that it was the ugliest truck they had ever seen. Mine was lifted with 33" grand prix 4 wheel on-off road rvt's. More updates. I'm jonesing here!!!!! Wayne |

There's a guy in town that has a 1:1 version of that yota with an exo cage. I'll try to get some pics if you want. Very cool build by the way. |

Glad to see a long wheelbase build. I just built a Bullhead bodied flatbed truck with a similar wheelbase just for fun, it will be mediocre off-road but what the hell!

Paint! And some dents! The truck will be weathered a fair bit and kinda crappy looking (to match the bodywork) | ||||

Where is there a body with crappy work? I don't see one here. If this body is crappy then let the good Lord bless me with your talent. I can o my dream of being able to do the fab work that you do. Wayne |

Yep, excellent as usual! My gen1 and gen2 had similar dents in both bed wheel wells lol. I've seen a few of these stretches around here, the rear section is as you pictured a simple bench seat sitting low. A modified fold out futon would be nice, but kinda small for comfortable sleeping. Keep up the good work. |
