Pickup with a back seat build threads

[posford]

Day dreaming again, I know I've seen at least one build thread where someone takes a single cab truck and cuts out the back wall to make a rear seat space like a Bronco/Blazer/Ramcharger, with bedsides and stuff still. Drawing a blank on which one or ones I'm thinking of. Could have been at the old place. I'm thinking a least one fullsize Chevy, fullsize dentside Ford, and a Toyota one like a Trekker but home built.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Yes

I never bothered to cut out the rear of my cab, had a bench seat in the back though

If you cut out the rear of thr cab, you can get the rear seat in front of the rear axle and it will ride better

I bought a 85 4runner and Toyota already had it done for me

Sawzall got away from me on mine, but ya, 5 seater. I have plans to seal it up decently one day. Shouldn't be too hard.

I've seen several ford and chevy reg cab long bed builds where they put a factory crew cab on them and still have enough room for 40s

Seems like the easy button for what you're after. If a full size fits

gmcxt ? Maybe? Someone with the beetlejuice avatar had built a blazer out of a pickup and built a 14b front end for it. The build was on the old site though.

Pass through cabs were common on toyotas for years...can't think of anyone off hand but I've personally seen a dozen or so.

For all the hate these get, they were pretty damn fun. My aunt had one when I was a kid and it was blast to ride around in the back of. Especially at the beach.

Doesn’t his Toyota have the pass through cab to a sleeper?

Basically, the 'sleeper' you refer too is like an extra 30-36" with a bench seat.

Shaffers Offroad blue blazer was pretty nice. The build thread is on the other site.

I recently found out those jump seats were added to get around some wierd import tax the US had on basically anything that could carry cargo. Supposedly still active today and ford get around it with all the transits by manufacturering with seats, then pulling them out when they get into the US.

When I was like 19-20 I had an 84 hatchback and later an 81 wagon. Same platform as the brat. They were an absolute blast. Had 2hi(fwd) 4hi and 4low. The hatchback with a welded diff was so much fun on dumb little trails.

They kinda suffered the same fate as the samurai's where they were cheap and fun to beat on/destroy. Now you can't hardly find them.

And they got busted for doing it as well
