frame stretch?

I found this shortbed pickup that I like. I plan on painting my pickup the same color and wandered what if it would be to much color for a longbed. Heres a list of thing I would love to have done.

1. Stretch the bed to longbed
2. Photoshop this wheel and tire combo
3. Lower it so it doesn't look lame

The wheels are also Renegade 8

Thank you in advance.

Re: frame stretch?

im no pro, direct side shots are easier to fake, just using clone brush in PSP, no special training needed, just play with a clone brush once.

Re: frame stretch?

Haha, I was scared that it would be to much teal for a long bed. Ill probably put a 4 inch lift on my pickup with a bigger profile tire.

Re: frame stretch?

There has already been quite a bit of work done to that truck to get it to that point. It has either been shortened to be that way of it has had the axles swapped. There were no short bed 3/4 ton trucks built back then.
So what is it? Half ton with 8 lug axles or 3/4 ton with a shortened bed/frame.

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
