That is very cool. Great job on that M35 as well. Looks like neat work on that frame extension as well.

More progress

Rough cuts to cabs.

Cool project and great progress. Keep the pictures coming.

Very inspiring.... i had thought about doing an extra-cab lengthening to my M37 but the crew cab looks really good

M376x6 used to post here and had the dual axles but I don't think he made a crew cab on his-I recall he used a WC63 frame and worked the M37 body panels into that frame-looked very cool.

Brian Sage's 6x6 M37 had a longer, custom tray made from 2 M37 trays and the rear frame, suspension and maybe diffs of the vehicle were from a WC series 6x6 plus he had a 360 Cui V8 to get it mobile (very mobile I suspect!!). Brian has not been on here for a long time but you never know, he may chime in....
There was another pic of a dual cab M37 floating about, I think it had the longer type chassis and the tray was a cut down to size affair so I suspect it was made from a maintenance truck or similar.

Got the cabs joined up now just need to weld in supports and fill all of the gaps.

It's looking good, mind you, and I am trying not to offend you but with that much length in added to the chassis it's turning radius will be shitful, maybe shorten the front of the tray a bit and bring those rear wheels back in closer to the back of the second cab or were you planning that anyway?

MM

I am planning on shorting the frame that's why the rear half is still bolted together. it looks like I may take out 20" of frame. I didn't know how long the extra cab would be until I had it built that's why I made the frame rails extra long. I'm still going to use the full length bed.

I can't wait to see the final shape, I guess the pictures and their perspective make the truck look overly long, I am sure you know what you are doing and after your large truck project you have all the kinks ironed out....
Keep this pictures coming

Going to spend this weekend welding supports in cab and try to get new rear floors in.

Took 17" out of the frame to get wheel base to match up with the stock bed.

After the stretch what was the actual length of framerail added?

Ended up being 36 1/2" added to frame.
