There is this one in progress at the Courier site. http://www.fordcouriercollector.com
He has cut a cab apart, and is fitting it to the rear of another to make an extended cab Ford Courier. Looks like it going to turn out nice, too.

Here, I moved the pics to our site. The finished pic is only a photoshop of what the plan is.

Not an extended cab but a factory crew cab, do a search, there are pics of at least one extra cab truck posted before.

In the 70's there was a company that made an extension cab. Mostly toyota's. They used the longbed truck, installed the short bed and made the cab extension. I remember one done as shown, that used a one piece roof and they made the body side panels. Lots of work and measure many times before cutting.

Wouldn't it be neat if we could get the front clip of one of those Florian's and put on our trucks that would keep people guessing trying to figure out what the truck is. Cool 8)

Seen one in Medford, OR at an Hotel/used car dealership. Was a 4x4 in rough condition. Not sure if it was factory or not. Extended cab side window was one of those old van bubble style windows in the shape of a heart. Pretty lame, but it had the heart wheels to match I think. Was goin to pick it up but already got a 4x
4 and wanted a 2 wheel drive instead. Had a lot of bondo on it too. And I mean ALOT! It was chippin off in large chunks when I got a closer look.
