I've pondered this for a while. I'd like to get feedback from guys that have pulled the trigger on this mod. Finish, fit, usability, any info you have good or bad I'll take. Pics too.

A buddy did one and recently sold it, missed having a rear seat more than having the pickup look and open bed. One of the Teraflex guys has done something similar, but it doesn't actually require any body work. Uses a drop-in bed liner, and some half panels that replace the rear doors. Rather cool looking. Sorry I don't know the vendor.

There is a video on YouTube that shows the whole process start to finish. Pretty interesting to watch. Looks like a lot of work.

I've wondered about having a welding capable buddy adding a "bed" behind my rear seats. I already linexed my interior so that may be the better route... I'll check that video out thanks
