And the 1st test fit of the full Quad Cab & Bed on the freshly extended chassis! The body is just sitting on it with some blocks holding it in place for height (didn't have any body mounts made at this point)

1st set of photos outside!




Made some additional frame extension pieces to stiffen up the whole area


Then of course came the spare wheel & tire, side step bars, and front tube bumper


He also sent a 2nd body he wanted to use with the truck as well


Spare wheel & tire mounted in the bed of the 2nd body


Then I finally started making some mounts to bolt the body on using the stock counter bored holes in the sides of the bodies

Rear body mounts


Bed mounts




Front body mounts

I had to make some custom little mounts for the side step bars as well


Modified my stiffener pieces to get the side step bars up where they needed to be


Worked out perfectly to utilize the front 4-Link mounting blocks to bolt up the front ends of the side step bars


And of course my custom mounts for the rear ends of the side step bars




Underneath shot with both sides done


All body mounts, side step bars, etc, done

Then of course the front bumper


I drilled and tapped some holes in the brush guard from the 2nd (red) body to mount the steel tube bumper to it


Then I cut the center of the tube bumper out (didn't work for what we wanted, it was made to fit a "stock" TF2 chassis)


And bolted the two together

With all the little custom parts I made for it from just bare aluminum, some painting was definitely in order




All 4 body mounts painted and installed


Frame rail extension painted up!


And installed (looks much better)


Also painted the aluminum spacers I used to extend the links in the 4-Link suspension (spacers were just to fine tune the length of the suspension, to get it exactly where it needed to be, and to get the axles leveled out)

The fender flares on the 2nd body needed some fixing up, so I gave them a little attention


Some dremel work on the back side to make them fit the body better, and some sanding for new paint


New paint


And they fit much better
