Ex cab should work. Front part of cab is the same for any cab configuration.

That kind of what I was thinking. But is good to bounce ideas or thoughts off of others.

What is your plan for the for the 2nd set of doors to match the 2012 door skins on the front doors?

A regular cab should work to I believe.

Still working on wiring. Got most of the Ex wiring wired back into the 12. Just have rear wiper, 12v outlet on one side, power for the rear heater/ac fan. Mounted the extra fuse box for those items and all the add accessories. All the DVD players, back up lights, will be coming from the fuse box. It has a hot lead right from the battery 125 amps, and grounding lead to the body and spots to hook up grounds. It's mound underneath the dash right next to where the wiring harness leaves threw the fire wall.

Took my extra fuse box back out so I could split the fuse in half. So I have 6 hot at all times and 6 with hot in the key on position. Had to do this with a relay. I also wired in some more stuff.
Back of fuse panel opened up.

I like seeing this come together. I sure wish I had more time and energy to focus on my project, but 70-80 hrs per 6 day week can leave a guy drained. It looks like your customer will have a nice ride when it's all done. Keep up the good work.

Still working on interior wiring. Today I wired the dvd players, one in the drivers head rest, one the passenger headrest and one roof mounted for the third row. They all have to be able to watch the same movie from the big DVD. Also wired for dual usb charging ports. One for the front seats, one for the second seats, one on each side of the third row seat and one in back by 12v outlet. All wired together on one circuit. Put the speakers in from the 12 and wired them. Tomorrow run all the wiring for the 6 seat heaters for the second and third row.

Got a link to buy the fuse block? I like it better than some of the ones I've bought in the past.

Vader's Fury · Feb 4, 2014

Also a link for the usb ports would be appreciated. I want to do the same in my Ex

Pretty much all wrapped up with the interior wiring. Wired the heated seats and started cleaning all the wire mess up.

Wow this is some great work. If I ever win the mega millions I'll have a 6.4L excision!

INSANE amount of work, way more than I will ever wish to do on mine. LOL

It's been a hell of a couple weeks been sick quite a bit and busy with costumer work. Getting sick again.

Pulled the rook rack, body moldings and sanded the roof.

Man, I can't wait to see this...

Vader's Fury · Mar 6, 2014

What are you going to do about the rear wheel wells?

rascal · Mar 7, 2014

This is awesome work!

Vader's Fury · Mar 7, 2014

What overhead screen is that?

The answer to this question is a big part of the reason I stayed away from the 6.7 platform. if he changes it, he will have to graft in huge sections of bed sides. lots of body work & $$$. All the fender flares large enough to hide the differences look way too large as well. I just couldn't see myself finding the time to make something like that a priority. I'm very curious as well which route this one will take.
