Default Possible cab swap

Has anyone ever had the idea or notion to swap from and extended cab to a supercrew cab on their f150? I want more space but don't want to buy a whole new truck just to get it. I know it's legal to swap cabs with the right paper work but just curious if anyone had done it.

Final idea was to swap out the front core support, swap to a cowl hood, an some fiberglass front fenders, swap out cabs to a supercrew with leather, do a complete swap on the front suspension to a 4 link and coils, put in a 12 valve cummins, and finally just remove the box completely, do some frame reinforcement and add a flat bed to it.......

I was right with you up until the flatbed lol they just don't work on any F-150's newer than 97.

No flatbed looks right on a 10th gen due to the way the cab is made to meet the factory bed.

That you have seen. I think with some tube work,plate and dimple dies it could flow with the cab.

True, but It'd take some real nice fab work to hide it well enough to look good enough for my tastes

I know it would be a lot of work to do this list of mods but my truck would be finished after this lol

I obviously can do fab work so anything is possible at this point
