    Crewcab body swap on Regular Cab C&C 159.5" WB?

    They're about 3'x4' or 4'x5' rectangle bales (can't remember exact dimensions). Should be able to fit about 4 before overloading the truck weight wise. Its just an occasional thing so its not a 'must have', just a, it'd be nice to fit at least an ATV for hunting or haul a few bales out to sell...

    Crewcab body swap on Regular Cab C&C 159.5" WB?

    Thank you for weighing in @Fat 454 ! So you're saying that possibly cutting out the truck frame to splice in part of a suburban frame would be the way to make it work ideally (or with a Crew)? Cutting and welding frames isn't something I'd be comfortable approaching yet and honestly would be...

    Crewcab body swap on Regular Cab C&C 159.5" WB?

    Definitely an interesting look! That short of a bed would be a no go for me since I have to haul the occasional bale or two of hay (750lb bales) but nice to know it works! I saw one on one of the Facebook groups that was a lifted version and it looked pretty slick! If I was doing some sort of...

    Crewcab body swap on Regular Cab C&C 159.5" WB?

    I'll be interested to see what happens when you finally get to that project. I think in the meantime I'll just leave it as a single cab and enjoy it that way! Thank you for your input on the idea!

    Crewcab body swap on Regular Cab C&C 159.5" WB?

    Thank you for the frame photos! Those let me see a ton more of the frame and where bucket is running into his issues. A fully straight frame would be fantastic! I do have a 1948 Dodge 2-ton truck that has that frame, however, the body is still on it and in good condition so it'll get the full...

    Crewcab body swap on Regular Cab C&C 159.5" WB?

    So, the part I'm talking about is visible on your truck. About midway of the driver's side door is where mine kicks up. That's probably what's giving you some grief eh? If so, I'll be interested in seeing how you address the floor. If its beyond my skillset, she'll remain a single cab with an...

    Crewcab body swap on Regular Cab C&C 159.5" WB?

    No worries! Still cool photos nonetheless. yeah, 6-8 inches is what I want to avoid! Definitely need a couple feet at least between cab and wheel for it to look ok and not hang too much weight behind the axle

    Crewcab body swap on Regular Cab C&C 159.5" WB?

    I kind of like that idea of going "mega cab" and using a suburban. I can find a good bodied suburban around here for less than $1000 for the whole thing. I'd just have to graft on the back of a truck cab but I assume that wouldn't be too crazy. Now you've got my wheels spinning a bit more. I'd...

    Crewcab body swap on Regular Cab C&C 159.5" WB?

    That's cool! Do you have any photos of what the rear section looked like when you got it done?

    Crewcab body swap on Regular Cab C&C 159.5" WB?

    I scrambled underneath last night to look and the frame is like @PrairieDrifter's photo. Straight across the back until the axle kickup. Up front however it does have the drop down right after the front axle, and then it pops back up before the rear cab mounts. Cab mounts are on the flat and I...

    Crewcab body swap on Regular Cab C&C 159.5" WB?

    So, I have an idea in my head and I've been searching this forum and any other squarebody related forum for the last month or so when I have free time, and I've seen tons of posts or questions about swapping Crewcabs to suburban frames, RCLB pickups, etc. What I haven't seen yet, is someone...

    Thank you both! I agree, I've gotten a lot of comments on it in person too about it looking tough/beastly/badass. Hopefully folks still think so when I eventually put a flatbed on it. It'll be a great truck!

    C30 crew cab frame vs cab and chassis frame

    Cody, Did you ever go any further with this project idea? I'm curious if you found anything out because I have a 159.5" C&C and thought I could just always be on the lookout for a Body to swap over and then do a short bed or a shorter Flatbed on the rear. Any updates for us?
