I'm about 99% sure I'm going to do this pretty soon.

Is there anything I need to look out for?

Any pics of what you did with the stock gas tank? I talked to a few that have done this and that cut the floor out and put it above the axle. This is definately a possibility and I would just have to make a sheetmetal cover for it.

I plan on doing it like the suburbans in these pics. Shortsub I hope you don't mind me using your pics, I uploaded them into my tinypic so I didn't use your bandwidth.

I would convert my barn doors to a tailgate at the same time too.

As for the gas tank, fuel cell anywhere in bed or truck saddle tanks.

Ya I like that burb too and I did a similar thing to that as I chopped the back off and moved the tailgate up so I could keep the roll down window in the back(and it helps so much with no A/C)

Nah man your burb is the badass now, I dig it.. Or I might just like it so much because no matter where i was in the park wheeling I could hear you on the rev limiter :flipoff2:

any updates on this rig, I am thinkin of doing something real similar with mine!!

Here's mine - work in progress.... Cleanup, cage, and soft top and she'll be done for now... boatside later...definitley loose the steps!

^^^^ nice truck.. and plan :smokin: ...cant wait to see updates on the way you finish up the shortening and the soft top.

Looks awesome, I have no more excuse to delay cutting the back off mine after my new engine and tranny are in.

Have any more pictures?

have any of yall seen someone do this with a Tahoe... me and my buddy have talked about doing it eventually with a cage on the inside... make a canvas top for the backhalf that I cut off.

i talk about doing this to my tahoe every day my wife hates to hear about it any more i think she is gonna cave and let me do it :)
i wanna narrow the back just enough to fit 1 barn door back on and put a 2wd rear window moved all the way forward, narrow the front and and drive it on the street like that fuck the tickets

What are you doing for your gas tank? were you able to move it foreward or are you going to have a fuel cell in the bed?
