Here we go with Part 5 of this custom-built crew cab, or MegaCab as they are calling it, bumpside Ford pickup and in this episode there is a lot of door fab going on. Building something like this isn’t that hard if you don’t care about the finished looks, but if you do, then you are going to have to spend some real time reshaping the top of the doors to make them look like they belong. That means lots of cutting and welding, so check it out.
Because of the way they are building this thing the cab is longer than a factory crew cab, hence the MegaCab name. Because of this, there is some serious roof going on and a lot of structure is needed that doesn’t exist in the truck cabs.
Yes these trucks came with 4-doors from the factory, but in very limited quantities. Plus, these dudes had two junk standard cabs that they wanted to see if they could make something good out of. Well if they can pull this off, then this certainly will qualify as something good. I’m loving watching it go together and if this doesn’t inspire you to grab your welder, I don’t know what will.

The 1967-1972 Ford trucks, often referred to as bump side trucks, are sought after by Ford enthusiasts. They are cool classic trucks and they are getting harder and harder to find. What makes Ford’s bumpsides special, compared to the truck offerings from GM and Mopar, is that they were available in a SuperCab, aka extra cab, and also in the Crew Cab or 6 man configuration. The crew cab is ultra rare compared to the others because they were most often purchased by government and corporate jobs.
So if finding a factory crew cab is tough, and if you have a couple of junk bumpsides sitting around to cut up, then why not build your own? That’s exactly what the crew at HalfMoonCustoms is going to try to do.
Let’s see how it works out.
