Sierra's Crew Cab Project!

[Sierra]

I would like to to see it at least drivable. "Done" will take a long time. I got screwed on the motor I bought. I don't know anything about motors so I guess it's just another lesson learned. On the bright side it is a good rebuildable core. Also the a$$es that helped load the cab ruined the roof so it's going to need a new roof skin as well. It's not too bad but not to my likings.

It's coming along slowly. I'm doing everything right the first time this time. No rush jobs to get it back on the road like it was when it was my daily driver.

Did yall remove the factory hot rivets and go back with bolts on the gas tank member?

 

[DRAGGIN95]

Yes, and just bolt it back in with some grade 8 bolt's.

stupid question:

would you have had to lengthen the frame for the crewcab conversion if it was a longbed ext cab?

thanks.
im debating doing the crewcab/shortbed route myself.

 

[DRAGGIN95]

No it won't work, the frame is completely different underneath the bed than it is under the cab. You would have to stretch the frame under the cab regardless of bed length.
