Extended Cab Pickup

[Model A Ron]

Here's a link to Snyder's https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/product.htm?pid=984431&cat=41817

Anyone have a photo of a truck that has an extended cab using the Snyder's sheet metal?

I think there was a picture in the old Brookville Roadster catalog.

I was talking about the sheet metal parts from Snyder's not Brookville as I am planning on extending an original steel 29.

that custom black Model "J" looks very nice. Think how much effort it takes to design, fabricate and complete a one-off. And it looks period authentic (kind of) but still, very nice work to appreciate.

Yes, ...exactly.

No one extended a cab on a 29 with Snyder's parts???

I suspect that vendors are buying these parts from a single supplier. Howell’s in Texas supplied my 28-29 cab extension parts through Bert’s. I did talk to the people at Howell’s and then placed the order with Bert’s.

Thank you....I see your truck in your signature but could you post a few photos as attachments? Could you also tell us more about what you had to do to extend your cab?

A year or so ago, there was a guy who was selling a 29 extended cab, he just used two more rear cab sides and welded then together. He did a nice job, but just didn't look quite right to me.

It may not work for you but try taking the back cushion out and see if that gives enough room for you. I had a 30 pickup an made a back out wood and foam cushion and gained enough to drive without a problem good luck

Here are some assembly shots. Used a wood kit from Bert's and then created my own roof bows from white oak. Punched louvers in the corner panels before assembly.

it looks great and thank you for the photos. The louvers are an idea I never thought of........ I like the idea of adding a window but for some reason it makes the Model A look odd to me. I take it your legroom issues are a thing of the past but do you find the truck having any blind spots when you drive due to the extended cab?

Good mirrors with 3” convex spots help eliminate blind spots. Yes, leg room is no longer an issue. Plenty of secure storage.

Do you have anymore full side views? I like your wood bed and was wondering if you went stock length or shortened it by 6 inches?

My plan is to build a daily driver as I work about 10 miles from home but at 6'3'' the stock cab will not let me work the clutch.

The stock square cabs are blind babies anyway.You'll just make it a little blinder,and you'll get used to it.Everything's a tradeoff,you'll get more legroom,but you'll have to deal with less visibility.You are talking a closed cab right? I'm seeing a lot of answers about open cabs,and i'm assuming you're talking closed cab from the blind spot questions.

I do like open cars but because I am going to build the 1929 as a daily driver I am going for a closed cab. Open cars are great but not in the winter time hear in NC....the nice part about Carolina is just about no snow so my extended cab pickup will see 12 months of use.

Again, blind spots are not an issue with good mirrors. Too, much easier to see the right side mirror in an extended cab with a passenger

I always found it interesting that Jim Bob's truck (Waltons) could seat three people across. Mighty tight in my truck.

Dad did find the "swing away gearshift lever" convenient when he went on a date.
