    I've got a cowl, and am thinking of building the rest of the cab similar to the Throttler's silver truck they had. Anybody got the dimensions of the doors and the panel behind the doors for a stock one?? I'll probably extend the doors several inches to help out for leg room.

    Thanks Fellas!!

    I just need the width and length of the doors and the portion behind the doors. I'm thinking of extending it a few inches for added leg room.

    thanks Fellas!!

    AWESOME!!! THANKS STOVEBOLT AND BUDD!! That was exactly what I needed!

    What do you guys think would be the perfect stretch on the doors... 3" or more? I want it to be comfortable and easy to get in and out!

    What are YOUR dimensions? I'm 6'5", 260. I am dropping my 28 cab over my frame rails and I think I am going to have a lot of leg room and I have looong legs. I seem to have plenty of room now. Are you thinking you might not fit because I thought that too until I was able to mock everything up.

    Really... I always thought they were a littl small?? I'm only 5' 9".... dang you're 6'5"... I just knew that Brookville lengthened the bodies they made and thought they needed a little more. I'll have to lay it out on the shop floor and see how that works.
