this is the cab dodge should have built

[Jeff Kelderman]

not sure why dodge made the back seat so small, but this is one option. we had alton company in pigeon michigan 989-453-3653 cut the back of the cab and add 12" to the rear of the cab. we shortened the bed to 7" instead of cutting the bed. they do awesome work and i am very happy with it.

WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . That looks awesome!!!



How much did that cost you? Id be interested in that. Dodge is a bunch of idiots for not making a true quad cab. I guess we will never know why they did this 1/2 size quad

In December of 2000 I attended a special showing of Dodge trucks, and filled out a survey for D-C. The had a half ton crewcab on display. It had full size front doors for the back and 12 inches to the back of the cab. The rear seats were front seats with adjustable backs. made a real nice truck!

I guess it's not possible to extend the frame because of the hydroforming. That would mean that a true crew cab 8' bed wouldn't be possible.

 

[Jeff Kelderman]

you can cut and weld on the new frame. we didn't want to do this truck because it already takes up most of a 10x30 booth at trade shows.

Jeff, what did you do about the fuel door being that it was in the section of the bed that is now missing?

 

[Forrest Nearing]

man, that's killer, but does it look to anyone else like they did a poor blend job on the paint? looks like two different colors as far as the cab and the doors... could just be the pic.



LOVE the truck though!!!

Dang. That's one big drop bar.

I would guess they put the fuel filler in the dually fender in it stock position just added a small bit of plumbing for it to fit.

Looks that way to me also.

the flash on the digital camera must make the paint look a little off. the paint is actually pretty damn good. if you were able to see it in real life you would agree.



they just cut a hole in the fender flare and put on a billet door that locks.



they also built this truck
