atvpro! right on man!!!! looks like u are a fab pro too!! did u lenghten the frame too or use a later frame? looks like u got room for an 8 footer in the back. and i gotta get a burb to cut up!!!!!

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

Yes I did lengthen the frame using the 1/2 burb frame and 1/2 pick up frame. The way that I cut both you end up cutting off a little extra on both frames, that way you are not putting a section in I did a z joint with a backing plate. You absolutely can not tell that I lengthened the frame by looking at it. The frame extension was exactly 3 feet and yes I am doing this with an 8' bed. Both are 3/4 ton.I moved the center drive shaft support member forward and basically split the difference between the two drive shafts so they are equal lengthens. The pics I posted do not reflect the finish product, I am about to pull the cab back off I'll snap some pics and show you, including detail pictures of the reinforcement inside the frame.

Man, I envy the skills, great work! Thats gonna be a beast!

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

That's exactly how we used to do semi's. Nice work!

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

Im glad it is going to be a 4 door. Looks awesome. You are going to have to market the complete cabs, I know I would buy one......., Hell, I would even toss the body that is on my one ton if I could get one.

Didn't even know these trucks were built, very cool old iron.

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

atvpro that is amazing!!! have you got a build thread? i kinda hate the fact that we have hi-jacked this thread. but i wanna see more, and would love to see your driversside b-pillar more in-depth.

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

I agree about the over use on this site so I did start a build thread. 67-72 crew cab build if any of you are interested in following along.

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

Here's a really good thread on building a Crewcab. It really drives home the amount of time and skill required to do it correctly.

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

Link to your build?

Do you have a build thread on here?

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

I did start a new thread under build, a novice at forums so really can't direct you straight there but title is 67-72 crew cab build.

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

I have seen that truck before somewhere....

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

Had a build thread on the site but it was taken off by admin...someone asked if I was selling them (I didn't answer) and at some point I put I bought more cabs so I guess I am not following the guidelines.. Sorry guys.

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

It's all good, :). For a $25 subscription fee, you can sell as much as you want, :metal:.

Looks good! What did you use for the hinges on the 4th door? Any pictures of the top?

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

Thanks. I used suburban third door hinges. The roof pics will come after finish media blasting it

subscribed, and I didn't even know they made these, but they are awsome!!

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

Great work, I would say try again to start a build thread.

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

Just started a new build thread "67-72 chev crewcab build" so I will be doing most postings over there.

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

The factory never built any of these, that I know about. All CrewCab's were either home-made or built by a hand full of stage coach companies.

Re: 67-72 chevy crew cabs
 

Bringing this one back up, I like it, anyone have pics to add?
