Hi All...

I'm in the process of extending my single cab 720 to a King cab by chopping the cabin from the back and welding new additional sheets. Since there are very few 720's in the entire country, I don't have access to another 720 King Cab for reference and measurements.

Can someone please help me in telling the dimensions of the extended cab and the bed (as mentioned in the pic) so that I can also follow the same ?

Regards,

It is 20 1/4" from the door to back of cab and 70 1/2" from the front of bed to the start of the taillight.

Hope that helps!

Finally... I've chopped the cabin from the back and in the process of adding extra side walls and roof metal. After strengthening the structure, I will add the electronic sunroof. Just coated the cabin with basic primer to avoid rusting. Some pics -
