78/86 Chassis Cab dually thing

Ok heres a side shot, the cab and front are mounted in the factory locations, the bed isnt bolted down but its set in place, still needs a little more tweaking but as you can see in the picture its a fairly large gap

Dunno how much work you want to do, but that would be the perfect time to extend the cab a few inches...  if you're tall you know what I mean.     Otherwise I'd put a simple sheet metal piece all the way around the gap.   Shouldne be hard to do any nobody would be likely to notice it.

Ya i actually thought about extending the cab but that would be quite a bit of work so im just gona be adding sheet metal strips with the body lines to the bed to fill the gap.

Back in the early 80's I helped my Dad with a truck he built. It was a 62 Chevy panel that he removed the body and put on a 65 cab and bed. The problem was he had the same gap you got. So, he was working for a Chevy dealer at the time and picked up a set of side pipes off of a Corvette or Camero and installed them standing up in the gap. Everyone thought he customized the truck somehow, but it was just a gap filler. Looked cool and went very well with the diamond pattern vinyl interior and bucket seats.

Well for right now ive been getting what body work i can do done, ive been goin back and fourth between keeping it 2wd or putting 4wd into it, ive been coming across some decent priced axels and what not, my other easy option is just do a 6/8.5 drop, but as for now im playin with colors, i like the "f bomb" camaro color sceme so i sprayed a fender olive drab to kinda get the look, but either way 2wd or 4wd i think it would look cool, heres the only updated pics i have.
