Truck Too Small

Well guys, I took a short trip with 6 people in my truck(4 were kids) and decided (very quickly)I need more room, everytime I went for reverse or 4th gear someone's knees got nailed

. Not to mention my 4 year old kept kicking my leg as we went down the road. So I have two choices, one buy a 2nd gen crew cab/ extended cab truck or add a extended cab to my crew cab. What I am going to do is weld on an extended cab back and lenghten the frame about 2 feet. I am also going to convert to dually(thought about doing a t-rex, but I have too much money in this truck now

) So I am in the market for a clean rust free extended cab cab section and a dana 70 axle and any suggestions on how to assemble this monster .

Kyle
