1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Well I had a truck that followed me home today , looking for his older brother that is in the shed. I had to keep him, always need a pair. The truck has a Chevy 350 with a turbo 400 trans, has a late model running gear, I believe late 80's but not sure. It is a 4 wheel drive 3/4 ton truck. It has a 14 bolt rear end. It does run but will not shift into reverse or drive for some reason. It has 3 doors and both of the rear windows work. It has what looks to be late 90's front and rear seats installed in it. It is one big truck.

Here are some interior and engine pictures pictures. Check out the gas tank in the back of the bed, holds 36 gallons, probably need it driving this pig.

Very nice, what are your plans?

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

I do not know yet, I also have a 67 GMC extended cab that only has 2 doors so I guess I will need to make a choice or do them both.

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

If you have to make a choice look me up. It's cold here right now, a trip to California would do me good :D

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

I'm glad it found it's way to you - it is in good hands for sure now.

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Holy H*ll that is a long truck :jdp:

Looks like a cool project!! Keep us posted please :D

The wheelbase on this truck is 162 inches and the wheelbase on my other extended cab is 140 inches while the wheelbase on a Suburban is I believe about 132 inches. It does fill the driveway.

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Why can't I ever find something like that here in Texas?????? :lol: Awesome truck!!! :metal:

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Cool truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

That is a pretty sweet truck...the bed is the exact same color (and same faded condition) as my longhorn.

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Very cool looking truck. The cab looks very good the way it was made.

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

I like the ideal that it has a rear door and that both windows in the rear go down, something my other truck does not have.

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Damn... Those pics put a lot of ideas in my head. Its about time someone had the guts ( and money ) to put something that long on the road. I'm not sure if I would body drop it and air bag the suspension and make it lay rockers or keep it that height? Of course you could of had the long horn extra length bed for extra girth.. ( or do you ? )

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Nice truck. You say '69 but that is a '68 front end...I am sure I missed where you mentioned that. What are the other options on it?

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Very nice truck. Can't wait toi see the final redo on it. Of course you could always take a vacation to Mississippi with it and leave it here. Sort of Katrina hurricane relief ;).

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

They have put the truck on a 4Wd frame and did a nice job I think of it. I am not sure what frame they used but someone already has done a lot fo work to make it what it is today. It is registered as a 1969 but has a 68 front end on it which I like. It has power brakes and power steering which I think si good since this is a big truck. I was told by the PO that the 4Wd worked good but have not checked it out since I have to fix the transmission first. If this truck had a Longhorn bed on it it would really look big. I would like to fix a few of the problems and get it on the road, maybe get rid of the gas tank in the bed for sure as it has a lot of rust in it.

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

I like it!

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Looks like a nice find and a great project :cool:

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

very cool find !!!!!!!!! :metal: :)

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Awesome truck,(its the one in my dreams).

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

I noticed that the brake lines from the MC are running down to the frame and wanted to know where is the P-block located? I just did the same thing to my 67. I had leftover lines from a '76 4x4 I parted out and mounted the P-block on the front crossmember. It makes for a little less clutter on the drivers side and easier to reach the plugs. After 2 days of bending and flaring I'm getting ready to bleed the system. BTW those seats are SWEEEET!

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Later rigs had the P-valve mounted to the frame, I forget where.

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Great Truck! Keep 'er and finish the job!

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

The valves are located on the front crossmember on the left side until 1991 I believe

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

nice truck-en-a-half hope you have a deep garage i really like it

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Can I ask what you paid? I would really like a truck just like that but haven't found one yet.

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

just noticed that the rear windows appear to be nothing more than the front windows flipped 180 degrees with that little spacer window there to finish it all off (I am sure that is comfortable for rear passengers wanting to put there arms in the window). Gotta love the cost saving measures from back in the day....at least they made a new rear door, I always get a kick out of the old crew cabs with just a second set of front doors for the rears! :lol:

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Well I stoped by to look at the new project and I think I may have curved his thought about which truck to build first. Luckly my shop is deep enough to fit this new toy. It should be comming over in a few weeks to get its cherry popped.

This truck started out as a Burb and had the rear cut off a few inches in side the rear door opening and then a truck cab was grafted on the back. They did a good job with everything that was done. The rear door is a stock burb door with a truck upper window chanel grafted on from a truck to keep the perportions correct. The stock burb door is square at the upper rear corner and most trucks that I have seen chopped and turned crew cab just leave them squared and it does not look right. The door glass is also burb and they both roll down and the small rear pain of glass is currently just plastic they cut to fit the truck portion grafted to the burb door.

What I would like to see is the bed chopped down to the same length as his other extended cad truck which is about 6" shorter then a short bed. Then throw a small lift and some 35's. But that is just my thoughts!

why can't i find stuff like that....nice find

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

I probably paid too much for the truck but for the money I paid I could not get it in this condition. I checked the rear end ratio today during breaks in the rain and it has a 4.11 rear end as far as I can tell so it will need an overdrive trans to make it a good highway rig. I drove it about 5 miles the other day and it seemed to drive nice but at 55 MPH ti seemed like it really wanted to shift again. The small block is a little small I think for it, needs a big block to make it go.

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Cool project. I wouldn't mind having one of those myself.

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Here are some new pictures of the truck. I have sold the in bed gas tank and the headache bar from the truck and have taken the bed off the truck for repairs to the cab corners. You may notice in my pictures my custom new gas tank, not too good at fast speeds or between gas stations.

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

I had one just like that. Although on yours you may only get down the street a block or two. ;)

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

It holds 6 gallons and at 6 miles per gallon I should be able to go 36 miles

;)

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

I want one of those, that is awesome! Got any pics of the xcab?

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

:phat:

Re: 1969 Chevy truck crew cab
 

Wow, you went all out. Mine was just a 1.5 gallon. If you would have used mine you might have made the end of the driveway :haha:
