DodgeMan Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Just wondering if a Quad cab would fit on a extended cab chassis...Im looking at buying a 96 dodge cummins, 4x4, stick, with a extended cab 8ft box. The cabs got some issues.. so i was wondering if it could be done.I would really like to have a early 98 Dodge 12 valve Cummins, 4x4, with a quad cab, stick shift.

slpwlker Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Wish I'd of gotten the quad cab myself but got the 12 valve stick and it flies. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29030-96-dodge-cummins/#findComment-153413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTFormula Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 If I am correct the only difference is swinging doors. Body dimensions are the same.

Gmerrill0516 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The old extended cab and 8 foot bed trucks are the same wheel base as the quad cab 8' bed. They are also the same as the Mega cab with the short bed. Dodge makes three chasis lengths and has for years. The regular cab short bed, the regular cab long bed shares the quad cab short bed chasis and the quad cab 8' bed which shares the same chasis as teh Megacab short bed. I miss my 12v 5 sp but love the power of the new 24 v. Put a good tune in it and it screams while getting better mileage than any gas job dreamed of.Good luck Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29030-96-dodge-cummins/#findComment-153544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yeah as above the cab size is the same you just get two more doors, thats it.

JTFormula Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Dig the duster hood scoop on that thing!

farmer52 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Dig the duster hood scoop on that thing!Just a small technical correction...Actually it is a Dodge Dart Sport hood scoop (1973 and 1974...maybe a few other years). It is patterned after the 1970-1/2 Dodge Challenger T/A hood scoop. The Plymouth Duster used a dual hood scoop. FWIW...I know TMI!

The really sad thing is I have a 72 duster in my shop right now with the twin scoops.

kframdiesel Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 thanks, and yes they were used on the dusters and also the 72 demon, this scoop was ordered or my friends duster im restoring for him. As we all know about aftermarket parts it fit the ram better then the duster lol. GO Figure lol Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29030-96-dodge-cummins/#findComment-154532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
