Re: Suburban to Crew Cab Conversion- Possible?

The center of the roof has a bubble on it from the factory so I cut it down to match the rest of the roof. I would have done a lot differently now but its my first big body project Ive ever tried. But what better to try it on than on a $500 suburban I have had $5,000,000 of fun in then the 6.2 cracked a head so chop time it was lol. I dont see how the body will crack from taking the back off, maybe but the bed is attached to the frame all the way to the bumper so I guess if the frame would move that much you could have issues... I stringed the corners of the cab after I got the rear part of a cab welded in and the cab itself doesnt have much movement if any I would worry about when I flexed the suspention in a ditch.

I just bough a decked out newer avalanch and I am hoping to get this thing finnally road worthy for winter to save my 08 from the wisconsin salt. So hopefully Ill get a thread started sometime if I get back on this project
