'67-72 Crew cab????----....just an idea (I'm sure everybody that likes crew had it?)

[utchev]

OK....here's the thing. I just sold my '77 pickup about a year ago .....My K30 Jeep is getting to the point that I'm thinking about the next project.

I'm thinking of snagging an early Sub, 3 door type (unless someone knows of a 4 door?), putting the rear cab off a pickup just behind the doors/2nd seat, adding a pickup bed (after lengthening the frame) and having a first gen crewcab. Seems like there was a thread on here a while ago about conversion style original crews and things, but I don't remember anything resembling this type of idea.(?).....

Anyone done anything similar?

I have seen a few that were made from Suburbans like you describe. I would say that these were all done by truck owners. All of the aftermarket conversion company ones that I have seen used a stretched truck cab with a second set of front doors.

You should check out The 1947 - 1998 Chevrolet & GMC Pickup Message Board Network. This link talk about them with some cool pictures. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php3?t=133600&highlight=crew

Check out this month's 'Truckin' magazine...besides talking about a revival of 'square-bodies' there is a pic of a 1st gen homebuilt crew-cab. It's a great idea, I've always wanted to do that, too.

Yeah I saw that on another site, but didnt see the interior, thats awesome!! I think its cool. If I had the SPACE id make a crew cab first gen. I REALLY like this one.

And heres another one:

And heres another one:

Turn that bottom one into a 4WD (solid axle), paint it blue instead of gold, long bed, slap a 4" lift on it, 35" tires, A/C, decent interior and a 12 valve cummins/NV5600 and that's what I'm thinking. (the boggers and lift are cool, but this will be my tow rig/daily driver) Both look like way nice trucks......

The driver side rear door jambs will be a SIGNIFICANT challenge, IMHO. The rest is pretty straightforward.

there is a shop in the midwest that makes these. I just saw them on the History Channel (yeah, I am loser). Go to historychannel.com then search for a "modern marvels" episode on trucks. they will have the info there. Sorry I can't be more specific.
