Saw this on the side if US 23 just north of South Bloomfield, OH. Sorry for the poor picture quality - cheap camera phone.
 
RLamarr's looks a lot like Lorretta Mitchell's from EEP.



I had a friend in KY named Chris Lawson that bought a 02 I think? :confused: 2500 with a 12" stretch to the Quad cab. Looked really nice, and very unique but whoever did it didn't have custom interior panels for it. He only had it a few months and sold it.
 
hey guys the truck is not for sale. sorry for any misunderstandings. This was Lorretta Mittchels truck but now it is mine. Well i should say everything is for sale but I dont think anyone wants to pay for it.

Why did Lorretta and Dave sell it? Also why did they put a 24V in it? :rolleyes:



That truck was an original 98 12V QC 5spd.
 
My truck was done by bayerauto also. They are definitely something dodge should have done in the 2nd gens.

RLamarr sweet truck. I am jealous and I have a crew cab sitting in my driveway.

My crew cab.

I wonder the durability of the frames on these stretched trucks? I am sure they do it all the time but if I were to stretch my long bed for more room would'nt that weaken the frame? I pull a fifth wheel and would be concerned about the stress on the frame. I don't know, just a thought.

On my truck that is the strongest part! LOL! It is 1/4" plate boxed the original frame is inside the boxed part about 18" on both ends. There is a 4"x4" 1/4" angle iron that runs the length of the cab behind the rockers. Its plenty strong. Its the Dodge part I'd be worried about if anything.
 
I have been contemplating getting mine done also. So what does a conversion like this typically run? It's got to be cheaper that a new bigger truck. Also who does some of the best conversions?
