I think it is at WagonMaster now- it does look pretty sketchy to me- especially the interior.fulsizjeep wrote:I have seen that "limo" somewhere near Salida, CO on US 285. Been a while. It was a scary concoction.66stepside wrote:This limo popped up:
I’ve changed the “final build” more than once, so this thread is easy to miss, haha.Austin4x4 wrote:wow. i don't know how i didn't see this thread until now. nice work on the doors and cab. i thought the hardest part to be the roof, i ended up using roofs from three diffrent trucks. one day could we see two fourdoor trucks in the same place at the same time?
The lines are classic on these trucks- and that bed fits better on the Chevy frame than I would’ve predicted.twisted frame wrote:I've always liked how the J truck beds taper up towards the tail end in the lower quarter. (Just wanted to add that.)
The height of the Jeep bed on the Chevy frame looks right at home. Will you use rubber 1/4" pads like Jeep used for mounts or something thicker?

Thanks Turbo. Keeping the Chevy core support is the ideal plan. While the mocked up pieces are not square, plumb, or true in their lines, it does line ip nicely.TurboJ4000 wrote:This is so awesome that fender looks like it fits perfect over the wheel and the firewall looks like it clears nicely!
That's exciting for my swap since I am also using a Chevy chassis.
How likely do you think it is that you will be able to keep the Chevy core support? Or how much of it can you use?
You say these are spare fenders. Does that mean you might be interested in getting rid of them once final fenders are installed? Those flares look good in the picture, mine are the typical rust bucket with pounds of bonds from the p/o66stepside wrote:jaber wrote:
Haha, thanks Jaber.
I guess I focus less on pics these days and more on the work!
It does take 3 truck roofs to make the extended cab.
I took some spare body panels (firewall and floor) from a wagoneer and mocked them up on the Chevy frame. Three 2x4’s at this height. And it can set lower if needed- BUT it doesn’t line up with the bed height.
Next up, mock up front fenders while I’m waiting on additional j truck roofs.
Edit:
Among 25 other things I did today:
Mocking up spare fenders I got from a local forum member who gave up jeeps for BMWs.

You didn't happen to snag the grill and pie pans did you?66stepside wrote:1 of 2 roofs.
How do you like them apples!? I’ve never seen a delete plate for the passenger’s side sun visor. I know the mat was was optional, but seeing only one is a first for me.
