You MUST demand that the body shop take pics of the extended cab process. I have an idea but I'd love to see it.

We'll be in and out of the body shop so we'll be sure to get pics of every little step

oklahomaduner · 07-12-2009, 12:16 AM

Hey thanks guys, I got the bed off the 66 finally and have it setting on the 86. I'm debating whether to get new bedsides or work these into shape... but we are going with a new tailgate so if anybody is looking for one..... make an offer. here are a few pics...

protrash64 · 07-12-2009, 12:20 AM

Sweet okduner........the frame is awesome and then a bed tease, damn! I say dont paint it!!!

joe231 · 07-12-2009, 12:41 AM

oklahomaduner · 07-12-2009, 12:44 AM

We are going with Francis-tuttle. My dad has a buddy up there

joe231 · 07-12-2009, 12:45 AM

cool!

**Captainfab** · 07-12-2009, 01:04 AM

If you hadn't already planned to, I would set the cab and nose on there before you build any mounts for the bed. Just lookin out......BTDT

oklahomaduner · 07-12-2009, 01:11 AM

Ya, we are going to put the wood floor in, new tailgate, and maybe some new sides and leave it as a "floating" piece to the puzzle until we see how the other things fit.

Frizzle Fry · 07-16-2009, 04:39 PM

Love it!

WHAMMYBAR66 · 07-28-2009, 05:06 PM

oklahomaduner · 07-28-2009, 11:26 PM

Thanks guys! progress has been slow due to lack of money, but Here's a teaser of what i want her to look like... (please excuse the sloppy chop job)

rod86 · 08-21-2009, 08:22 PM

man thats gonns be a sweet truck... ive always wanted to see it done, now i wanna see a dual cab lfted 66......

oklahomaduner · 10-06-2009, 11:58 AM

Updates coming tonight..

oklahomaduner · 10-09-2009, 12:40 AM

Ok I lied. Sorry guys, school has been keeping me really busy. I've made a little progress and I'll try to go into detail this weekend but here is a pic of how she sits now. We are in the process of mounting the body and figuring out the height we want the cab. Enjoy

oklahomaduner · 10-11-2009, 01:13 PM

Hey guys, sorry it has been so long!! School and homework have been my main priority lately. But we have managed to accomplish a few things on the truck lately...

In the search for a new tailgate and bed sides we were led to Mar-k bed products based right here in Oklahoma City. (Awesome people to work with) After talking with the owner Mark, we found out that he had a slightly damaged, blank tailgate that was perfect for us. We looked through the styles of embossing that they did and were immediately attracted to the older "GMC" style. So they embossed it for us and a week or so later we picked it up

We had been slowly pulling parts off the truck and bringing them back to our house, but after what seemed like a lifetime of begging, my dad finally cracked and agreed to bring what was left of the truck back home.

oklahomaduner · 10-11-2009, 01:15 PM

I immediately started stripping her down to pull the cab off... And of course I had to throw a seat in there and see how it would feel... I let dad pose for this one...

I couldn’t stand waiting to put the cab over so I did what I could to pass the time.. At this point days seemed like years..

Then a couple days ago I got everything ready to put the cab over and convinced my dad to help me do it and now this is how she sits!

oklahomaduner:

The build is looking awesome. What did you and your father decide on the hood, grille & tailgate? If you want to try to work something out, let me know.

Very impressive, so far!
