Just Got The Megacab Longbed Conversion Done
#72
Innovative Customs does the frame splice under the cab like the shop in Texas and the shop in Indiana does. The shop in Indiana is who TDR recommends because one of their project trucks was converted at their shop. However, that shop doesn't provide pickup beds. The customer has to provide the new bed. Precision Bodyline does the frame splice over the rear axle like Go Big Garage(Seabee's shop) does.

Seabee-Mega cab conversions
Thanks Scott, besides just finding out about Seabee's conversions, I didn't know about the 3rd shop in Indiana. Do you have contact info for Seabee's shop in California? The posts I saw were a little dated - is he still around and doing the conversions? Do you have any knowledge/experience with his conversions and their quality and longevity? Thanks!

mega cab stretch
As far as I know, that shop that Seabee ran doesn't even exist any more. However, I do know of a shop in northern California in the greater Sacramento area that will be offering the conversions soon. Can't give away any more details on it yet but I will once I get the go-ahead.

Thanks for your reply Scott. I had read that Seabee is in the military. He posted a few years ago that he had just come back from overseas and had to open his shop back up. Does anyone know if he is again, on active duty elsewhere, or if he just shut his shop down and isn't doing the conversions anymore?
As far as the NorCal shop is concerned, any idea when they will be starting conversions so I can check back with you at that time? Do you know if they will be cutting mid-frame or at the axle? Thanks!

Scott, I forgot to ask you again - did you ever see Seabee's conversions to assess the quality versus the other shop's work? Seeing as how this NorCal shop will just be starting the conversions, in your estimation, would it still be better to go with a shop that has done a lot of these already? For shops that do frame stretching, is this conversion difficult or run-of-the-mill concerning preserving frame strength, etc.? Thanks!
