    Hey there...If possible, you could find an old sedan and start with that. I found what I thought was a truck cab a few weeks ago, but turned out to be a cut down sedan. The proportions aren't exact, but even if you try to build one from scratch, it would take tons of labour and cash to make one look right. I've seen way too many that just look wrong. Apparently, if you are tall like me(6'3), an original cab will be pretty cramped. If you start with a sedan, you can basically build it up to fit your preferences.

    Here's what I found. Pretty rough, but this will save me alot of time. Just a thought.

    Check out this site... www.thetinmansgarage.com If you want to build a body yourself, then just do it. You'll never know unless you try!! At a minimum you'll learn a lot and have a good time doing it.
