Wow. That’s an undertaking. Great project. I am in process of adding cab rear onto a crew cab on my c60 to get 5 inches more rear seat room. Rear of my cab is destroyed from someone adding a sleeper.
Cool project ,very big undertaking, but the reward is worth it. I am curious, though . Given that you suicided the rear doors, I would think it less work to swap sides with the rear doors l to rht and rht to l then section the window frame on the rear of the back doors.
@@og190 i actually did that at first and found out that the front of the door is narrower than the rear so by flipping the doors and having 2 rears butt up to each other, it made a very weird body line with almost a peak coming out if you looked down the truck body line. Old suburban do have a little peak of you ever get a chance to see one and look down the body line, but by having 2 rears back to back it magnified the body line even more. So I changed the doors back to how they are now. In my next video, im going to go over all that. Great question though. I appreciate you watching the video
@@dilloncarson5468 i want to try and keep the orginal pillar adjustments as stock as possible. With bolting from the inside of the cab, I think there would be so many more adjustments as far as having the hinge land on the door and still have a good gap for the weatherstriping to sit on. It would definitely make life easier to have the bolts on the inside but for me it's about what challenges I'm comfortable with and keeping as many points on the truck as stock as possible without opening up a huge can of worms. Once I get this cab done, I want to take a step back and see if there's a better way on the next one I build and moving the bolts would be ideal. Thanks for the feedback
@xozindustries7451 yes, I have a couple scrap doors that I plan on using the windows frames out of. I'll do a stationary window in the rear of the suicide doors, kinda like a vent window then have a bigger glass cut for the main window in the suicide doors. I'm hoping to go over all that in another video, maybe 3 weeks ftom now
@@battleaxefabandmachine i thought about that but then I'd have to redesign the floor for the seat, seatbelts then the lower cab which welds to the specific part of the rear floor. It's a great idea for sure and depends on what challenges you want.
What a cool project! Beautiful work - can't wait to see it finished!
Nice project hope to see you work on it more often 👍👌

Why aren't you inbounding (bolting in from the inside of the cab) the rear hinges for access and adjustmets?

That was my question as well. Looks cool though!
Are you going to use two more window frames to square off the rear glass?

You could have maybe turned the second cab 180° then add a back onto it.

Everybody's going to think it's a Dodge
