Title: Aftermarket extended cab?
Post by: 81C10 on April 17, 2008, 10:50:31 pm: I found a mid 80s C10 with a 'custom' extended cab. I have seen one in a magazine before. How rare are they? It's almost rust free and has a 350. Unfortunately its an automatic (most likely 700R4). I've never seen one in person

What's it worth? I think I could get it for about scrap price.

I know most were made by Overland Custom Coach, and it was supposedly in Texas, but I cannot confirm that either. Can you post pics, and where is it? Here are pix of mine. I am collecting pictures of these trucks so I can try to document what is out the before all the info gets lost. I was told they were mostly built from 84-86, but during those years, other trucks of the same body were modified, but the 84-86 were the only ones done as new vehicles

I have been looking for a nice clean one if you decide against it.

I talked to the guy once upon a time, and told him I wanted it when he was done. I saw it about 3 years ago at the scrap yard when I took a load in. I kid you not, I shed a tear!
