Chris:

On this page:

you can see a small picture of Karl Bradley's stretched '68. I think it's stretched 12" iirc. His truck is probably the nicest stretched one I know of.

Luke Clark at Fourtreks.com stretched his to 106, I believe and could help you with ideas.
Good luck with the stretch, you won't believe the difference.
Gotta do mine one day.

Let me state up front.... I have no brand loyalties, at least until somebody pays me to have them. I have a client who had a nice Jeep Unlimited that was stolen. He's considering a EB. I said fine, but add some length.

I remember that guy.
He was really cool & a crazy party animal. :D

What sorta wheeling is he mostly into?
If he likes tight trails I would'nt add length to it. http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/m2c.gif

I'm the one that was interested in the ttb bronco. David wants to go faster than his unlimited. His unlimited was really heavy. He had 1/8"steel plate on every inch of the body except the hood.

hey man, i just picked this one up. i think it's going to be the new kovel racing chase truck. it has 2 side tanks and a rear tank. holds about 85 gallons of fuel. a 10,000 lb winch and built in tool boxes. i'm 6'2 and the cab has plenty of leg room for me. it is 14" over stock. needs work, like all of us....

Nice stretch. How was it stretched on the frame? Tube'd from the cut off point?

yes the frame was cut and moved back so the leaf mounts are all the same. the half cab was cut and angled back to allow the seat to recline a bit.
