I've thought that a great use for a residue Cab
would be to cut the firewall off of the front of
an extra cab and the back off of the cab of the
project truck so as to make a Crew Cab M35.
You're not left with much room for the bed, but,
with a standard M35 chassis, I'll bet you could
add a shorter bed that would still do the job and
still have a good truck. More room for your
friends. Put a second spring seat on the right
and move the benches to the back and you're
really set.

An M35 for Kids and the wife.
