Default Keep my extended cab or get a regular cab

Got a little dilema my truck now has about 83,000 on it and the miles keep coming I was thinking maybe about getting rid of it and getting a regular cab sierra 03-up probably to make fast since its a single cab and hopefully alot less miles what would you guys do I have also thought about keeping my truck and possibly getting a fox body mustang to tinker around with I am not sure what I want to do any opinions would be appreciated.

Ive gone from single cab to ext cab to single cab back to ext cab!
You'll miss the extra room once you dont have it. Now if you're wanting a peformance based truck and plan on doing nothing but modding the **** out of it, then go single cab so you wont run into the extra weight issue.

I have a regular cab truck and 2 fox stangs. I don't think you could go wrong either way.

In my opinion, regular cab trucks are more "personalized". 90% of the late model trucks on the road are extended cabs and it's boring seeing the same style over and over. If it's the lack of extra space you're concerned about then get a locking tonneau cover for your bed and put stuff in there. Yeah, you won't be able to drive as much people around but sometimes I think that's a good thing (especially with some of the friends I have). Go with reg cab!

I've had 2 ext. cab trucks and now have a reg. cab.
I like the reg cab better, if you want room get a crew cab.
But my other 2 trucks were obs and the ext. cabs were alittle smaller then they are now.

keep the EC, and buy the RC. don't we all wish we could do that. i'm sure one has to go.

stick with EC. you can still make a fast one. plus it can be a heavy sleeper

keep em coming guys I really like my extended cab but man oh man I miss having something that handles. I have thought about getting a LS1 formula because I have always loved firebirds I had 4 of them before I bought my truck and man do I miss having a car and its worse now since my brother bought a 04 Gto of course now I want to smoke the Gto and I dont have a car to do it.
