question for all you guys

ok so i have been a member here a while, I read on and off. I have decided to build another truck.

I am really in love with the 91 k30 4x4 crew cab short bed. but have yet to find one.

wondering how much shorter is the suburban chassis then the crew short? could i find a wrecked crew and snatch the body?

I have an 82 diesel burb roller i was gonna build and was thinking i could junk the body and swap a crew cab ontop of the burb chassis?

or am i better off just finding an old crew cab?

Good luck finding a '91 K30 short bed.

I'm pretty sure the burb chassis is pretty different than the pickup chassis. And as Avery alluded to, there is no such thing as a crewcab short box from the factory (at least of our body style. Any you've seen were custom built by shortening the crewcab's frame and installing a half ton box.

That truck IS the mythical Unicorn. Is it real? does it exsist? it IS Legend. Epic words only one with a Chevy soul could understand. Oh I'm deep, real deep.

wayell.... you could take a blazer chassis... pull the body off, put a crew cab on, and cut a dually bed down to fit the rest of the frame.... then stuff a dually rear axle under it. youd have probably like a 2ft bed on there, and it would be really wide by wheeling standards, but it would certainly be unique.

how about this:

the neighborhood i used to live in there was a crew cab that always caught my attention.

Well, to answer your question, the suburban frame is too short to put a crew cab cab and swb bed on. You could cut down a bed, but there wouldn't be a front on the wheel wells. My crew cab is mounted onto a 'burb frame. I cut the rear of the frame off, but there is one picture before I did that.
