Yeah, that's my problem. Need room for the family lol. Regular cabs just don't cut it anymore which is why the next one will be the crew or a burb.

You don't have a designated area for them to wipe their feet before walking all over everything with muddy wet feet??? :think:

I figured you had a little lounge area built into the burb just for leaving muddy and wet shoes before the move about the rest of the cabin area :D

Yeah, that's why they appeal to me slightly just because you don't see them everyday. Whereas I can't throw a rock without hitting a 73-87 reg. cab....

I think if I came across one I would sell that bitch right away, the cab looks way to weird for me.

Its strange... the little S10's got extended cabs during the same years they made squarebody trucks right? Its the only truck that I can think of that I have never saw an extended cab version of. (From the factory).

I think that is because of the gas tank lawsuit. GM just wanted done with this body style and put their efforts in launching the new body style. Here is a tid pit of info many may not know. Although the X cab was available in 88 in the new body style, did everyone know it was only available in long bed? No short bed X cab in 88 and I don't think 89 either. I do believe 90 was first year for shortbed X cab.
