Merz-Ben Extreme Veteran Date registered: Aug 2006 Location: Floyds Knobs, IN 47119 Vehicle(s): 230G, U1200, U1250 DoKa, U1300L, U1500, U1700, 416 Posts: 377 | Has anyone in here streached the frame on a W460 G? I'm thinking of streaching the frame on a LWB five door and cutting out the cargo area in the rear in favor of a 6ft. aluminum 3 way dump bed; turning the G into a Crew cab pickup... Has anyone done this before? I've streached and shortened the frames on big trucks before and I know it can be done, but I don't know how sturdy the G frame is. Any Feedback/comments would be appreciated. Thanks, Ben | ||

FWIW, here is a stretched G that looks pretty cool and is for sale. http://www.finn.no/finn/car/object?finnkode=8118696&sid=9aLulhuxr52... Mike | ||
