Hey guys,

Here's a crazy idea, let's see who can help... I have a 2004 f150 extended cab flare side 4x4 with a 5 speed manual. I know of one other v8 ford ext cab with a five speed...regardless this is my baby. I had an idea to rebuild and beef up the engine, rebuild the tranny and restore the truck with new interior, paint, tires, shocks,etc. I had another idea. I want to put a super crew cab on my extended cab pickup. I know I would have to replace the bed with a super crew bed but so what. I would have A five speed manual with a super crew, more room for my son due in feb. Anyone know if the extended cab frame would accept the super crew cab and bed? They sure look similar but I want to know as much as I can before I start. Obviously this is a big undertaking but I can do pretty much anything mechanically, just need your expertise and any advice. Thank you very much!

Dave

 

I know that the supercrew is longer by about 5 inches but the wheel base is the same.

 

Why not just trade it for a supercrew... Your that hung up on the 5 speed?

Cost wise, you could buy a new truck. Hey, if you got money to throw around... Throw me some

 

I said I could do pretty much anything mechanically not FINANCIALLY. It's not that I'm super hung up on the 5 speed. I'm more into the challenge and tackling a project with my favorite truck.

 

a guy around here did a super crew cab with a ext cab bed. on a ext cab frame. he had to make the frame 6 inchs longer. just took a chunk out of the other truck frame

 

Heritage scab and screw frames are identical, not sure about shared body mounts.

We talking heritage 04 or ,ew 04 body?

 

This is an 04 XLT. I'm not sure about the heritage part... I know the 04s changed for the 1/2 ton, but maybe not for the 3/4 or 1 ton pickups. It's the "newer" body style for the 150s in 2004.

He lengthened the frame....that sounds intense

 

so it's this body?

 

If you have a 2004 Scab with a manual transmission, that's an old body style Heritage. There's no way you are going to put a new body style Screw body on that frame. You may be able to drop a 2001-2003 Screw body on it.

 

son of a bucket. I originally posted a 2004. It's a 2001. Gheesh.

 

this is similar to mine...


this is what I'm after, give or take a few details...



Again sorry for the year confusion.

 

i have no idea but would love to see the transformation details keep us posted

 

yea your 01 extended cab frame is the same frame the screw uses

 

sweet thanks patman! I'm scavenging for the screw cabs at the salvage yards and see what I can find. Thanks again

Dave
