There is a killer silver 4dr one rolling around here..he just smiled when I asked if it was a cut-down 'burban

I know of a shop in Minnesota that did this conversion. Used to visit it often. The truck they built was called the Longhorn by CVI. Maybe the name is territorial. I think they might still have some jump seats and windows. I do still have a brochure on them.

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

I always liked this one. It was made by a local body guy. It was a 76 long fleet and short step combined. I thought about getting it from him, but it went underwater during Katrina and it really messed it up bad on the internal structures.

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

Im just looking on here and I do see this was a few years ago but has anyone ran accross a extended cab Chevy im looking for a cab and frame. Any one with info on one welcome to text me 2629093017

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

If u can still buy it id be interested if its still available.

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

He and the truck are long gone now. I know he moved to Florida about a year after Katrina. Not sure who ended up with the truck, Sure wish I had the money back then for it.

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

Was that on Pass Road?

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

Yes....he used to be the painter at Knights (a very good one too)

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

I thought so! The truck and the shop looked familiar.

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

came across a 85 extended cab for sale but rust is really bad on the extended cab part anybody know where to get patch panels or what I could use for donor panels.....like around the windows etc?

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

The metal around the windows is just flat sheetmetal and should be easy to dublicate. The most complex curve is the body line below the window which is just the sheet metal that was removed when the bed was shortened.

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

I have seen the truck in person, the rust is an easy fix and all x-cabs had a skim coat of bondo from the conversion process. From what I have heard from those who know, this one is done by the best conversion company of the five.

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

That all looks like it would be a n easy fix, looks pretty complete otherwise.

I now own that 1985 red extended cab dually, the owner didnt take good care of it they tried to change out the gauges, and dash also the carb back fired and caught the insulation on fire. But no worries im gonna save it :metal:

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

Cool. Be looking forward to seeing you bring the ole girl back to life.

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

MtTenery are you going to keep that seat? I have the white crew cab dually and I want a period correct seat for the rear. The one that's in it is one of those benches that breaks down into a bed, not very comfortable at all to sit in.

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

@Palf70Step I started on replacing the burnt harness and replacing the carpet but im in college so its really slow going, @wiggins yes im keeping it original except that im upgrading it to a 4x4, cummins, with a 5spd transmission.

Re: Square body extended cabs
 

OK, good luck. I rebuilt a 68" step side while I was in college. Took me 3 years and every spare minute and dollar I made to finish it. Still have that truck, prob be buried in it lol
