Rob Hall Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Seems like the way to proceed is to take a shortbed kit (either the 454 SS or stepside kit) and the longbed extended cab snap kit and do some cut and pasting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or two cabs and frames plus the shortbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Or two cabs and frames plus the shortbed. The extended cab body and interior already exists w/ the snap kit, I'd hunt down one of those rather than waste time and effort cutting up two cabs to make one. Take the snap kit, shorten the frame, and use the bed from the short bed kit. Edited March 4, 2013 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrecker388 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The cab already exists w/ the snap kit. Yeah, but those snap kits tend to be a little more expensive/rare than say the USA-1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 There is a snap kit with the right cab and I do believe there is a Promo with the right cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66belair Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks for the info,I have the promos and a bed. I thought at one time somebody cast the frame.i have a resin crewcab long bed resin frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) The full detail crew cab frame AND ext cab long bed frame were done in resin, But the ext cab short bed frame never was, kinda surprising too. Best way is to get the ext cab long bed frame from modelhaus and cut it up and use it with the 454ss/stepside frame.

Nick W. Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 When I made the replica of my brother in laws 94, I used two frames from the tahoe kit to do the extended cab shortbed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
