Did a search and wasn't able to find anything. Does anyone know if it's been done already? I'm talking about making something like a supercab by using 2 bodies. Think it's a direction I'm going to go

Why Be Low · 03-06-2007, 08:26 PM

i have seen it done before

super cab would that = a crew cab

if so search crew cab

davcom · 03-06-2007, 08:28 PM

ive seen a few builds that they did that to ,i have never done it but im sure the ones that have would let you know..

damion289 · 03-07-2007, 04:49 AM

Yeah I did a search for it a few ways. Thought maybe I'd be doing something new since it's a lot of work..guess I'll have to figure out another way.. Maybe find a way to make it float?? haha

Unimoger · 03-07-2007, 09:18 AM

here ya go, from the body master himself.

Atwill's QuadClod Trail Beater build

damion289 · 03-07-2007, 02:46 PM

Thanks for the link. Here I thought I'd be different. Oh well.. Maybe I'll do something different from that. I have more ideas....thinking..........

microgoat · 03-07-2007, 04:16 PM

You could make it a duallie Suburban

obijuan · 03-07-2007, 05:20 PM

thats how i found this site was lookin to see if anyone had done it too. i havent seen a 3+3 dually. i was gonna make mine a dually but the ellusive knight hauler rear axle and expensive as hell rims steered me away.

damion289 · 03-07-2007, 05:33 PM

Maybe I'll chop the top and shave the door handles? fill in the hood? make a custom scoop? maybe like a 427 cobra jet? something like that? Forget about making it longer just make it cooler street rod musclecarish?? Yeah maybe something like that. I got a NIB full body set from ebay for 36.99 plus shippping. Now all I have to do is get the body in my hands and I can go to work. I'm an old module builder so a hard body is the way to go for me. I can do a lot with it. I'll have to post as I get to work. I'm hoping to start next week on Wed night for a few hours.

obijuan · 03-07-2007, 05:38 PM

yeah tub it out with a xc rear axle( ithink) like a 9 inch or something with fat slicks and then skinnys up front. 502ci with an openin hood! yeah

damion289 · 03-07-2007, 10:08 PM

I was thinking more along the lines of something for my crawler not a prostreet'd rig..we are in a crawler forum right? I'm just talking mods to make it cooler then stock

1BadJeepBruiser · 03-08-2007, 09:02 AM

That is nice!

I started on a scale truck, but couldn't finish it. I realized that after that much work, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to use it. I hate having a Shelf Queen.

damion289 · 03-08-2007, 04:16 PM

Oh I'm going to use mine. I'm just not going for a scaler right now. i'm building a tuber. So I'll make a cage around the body to protect it. nice job on that one.. Flares look real nice..

'83 chevy · 03-08-2007, 05:29 PM

1BJB - That body is awesome. Been using it as inspiration for the cowl hood I'm trying to build.

Is the extension of the bed all done ahead of the wheel wells?

What was used to do the flares?

Thanks!

yes it was extended in front of the rear wheel well by 3/4 of an inch. the flares are molded from filler. The person glue styrene around the inside of the well and built it up from there.
