I drooled 88 Crew Ext Cab Conversion

I've seen a lot of these ext cab conversions, but this one made me want it really badly. Could not get my wife to even talk about it though. Fairly fresh 454 with almost no rust showing anywhere. I looked it over for the conversion info and came up empty. I am still giddy that the guy brought it by for me to fondle. Wish I would have taken more photos now... Had it been a V30 instead of a R30 it would not have left with him, somehow someway....

I think it would be cool to have one like the dodge mega cabs, just a little more room behind the rear seat would nice.

Good deal. Buy it, rip the whole front crossmember out, and convert it to 4x4. That would be the ultimate rig.

Re: I drooled 88 Crew Ext Cab Conversion

IMO, it looks more like a van conversion company did the work. If WH did it, it would have WH plates everywhere.
