Moved driver seat back 5"

I was able to move my seat back, what a difference in leg room that made. The only problem, is I had to cut the back of the cab off!:cookoo:
OK, the solution, add another cab on the back. It's going to be a 4 door, but the rear doors will be 12" shorter, so I can keep the spare carrier, and tool box, with a 8' bed.:-D
So far, all my measurements will work.

Was able to get the extra cab attached this weekend, that thing was heavy trying to get it up on the frame by yourself, I was planning on using a cherry picker, but there just wasn't enough room, so I had to lift it up. It was cold too, but my temporary paint booth plastic helped!:-D
I think I will like the shorter rear doors, I just have to build them now.:eek:

Brad you have help right down the road. I hope your back is OK.aua
Thanks Joe, it was one of those things, where I planned on using the cherry picker, but ended up lifting it up, and it was on before I realized it:smile:.
It just required a few more pain killers Saturday night, but all is well now.:grin:
