The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

Been loving the lines of the 60' to 66' trucks now for quite sometime and decided to take my passion of building crew cabs for the 67-72 to this year. I have already gathered up a lot of parts for this build. Just got all the cab pieces back from media blasting and am ready to put it on the jig.

it’s good to see another crew cab. I’ve been working on one since 2012. I’ve had 4 back surgeries and 8 nerves burn. This last month i started one more time. I’ve slid a 1962 front cab and a 1966 rear cab together. My b piler is rear of the 60 welded to the a piler of the 66. I’m using full size doors. As in your picture the doors are straighten in the center. I’ve done three of the doors but they still need work. My frame is almost done, it’s extended 41 inches. The front is a 66 c10, the rear half is a 68 k10. It’s being changed to a four wheel drive, which I’ve have alrighty completed. Good luck

Beauty! I am digging your Duke build too. Cool machines man! I am also real partial to the 60-66, great body lines. What are your plans for the drive train, slamming a diesel in this one as well?

I’m all ears!! And eyes!

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

Very nice

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

Coming along quite nicely.

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

Looks like great progress.

What is the body up on the shelf? Another 4 door?

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

The picture looks like my cab. Did you just slide the cabs together? Looks great

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

Looks like you need to have someone else do your blasting.

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

Cant wait to see this one!!

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

I'm all drool :hm:

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

Yes it is :)

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

If you are talking about the cab sitting above the booth, you are definitely right. One time deal and an expensive lesson learned. Spectrum does all of my media blasting and powder coating and I am very satisfied with them.

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

At first glance it looks as though you split a cab in half and moved the front and back further apart. Upon closer inspection you can see you have split/combined two cabs.
Are you going to have a complete inner metal "stock looking" roof?
Looks great

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

I'm talking about everything in the pic except the '64-5-6 cab looks not too bad. I heard that Spectrum was closing their doors?

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

Where did you hear Spectrum is closing their doors? All of those are from that one time guy btw, never again.

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

From someone that was working there recently.

Yeah, some of these local, so-called blasters don't have a clue.

what a nice build...love that greenish/white combo in your 1st pic...more and more on all year model 4x4s I'm liking big mud tires on wide stock wheels with hubcaps...

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

I'm having so much fun building the Ponderosa. I think it's starting to look really adoorable. lol

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

In for the build. It’s gonna be awesome!

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

STOP!

Must resist!

Updates??

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

That last several months have been very busy getting the Ponderosa ready for SEMA. The pictures will tell a good story below but we are getting close.

First the B pillar and a large portion of the sheet metal work is done. The 5.9 Cummins valve covers have been over to Spectrum Powder Coating for coat of custom green to contrast with the GenRock light green by Lusid Technologies. I also did the motor mounts to the same green hammered and have even had them coat the injector lines a metal flake silver with hints of green to have it pop under the lights or in the sun. There is 3 inches to spare behind the motor and plenty of room under the hood so I am designing a liquid to air intercooler.

I'm having Joe at Cinderella Customs do the painting and Stitchwurx is doing the upholstery.

As it is now the height is about 8' and the length is around 20'.

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

Awesome!

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

Idiosyncrasies. Yeah, I have them. I love the clearance lights that come on the 67 to 72 GM trucks. Unfortunately the ones that came on the 66 and older were the dealer installed screw on ones. I've never particularly cared for them as much as the 67 to 72. Well, it's my truck, I'll build it the way I like it. Besides, you guys know that I go off the reservation occasionally.

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

Well, this isn't turning out too bad. I think it will do.

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

Maaaaan! They are totally killing it over at Cinderella customs on the Ponderosa bed sides. I am so excited I can't hardly stand it. I know this is going to be absolutely gorgeous when it's done. I'm looking forward to the bed assembly session. Check out Cinderella Customs and like their page @ciderellajoe1962 every like they get will be a dollar off of the overall job.

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

A few weeks back I received my E-rated Trail Grapplers from Nitto. Not as big as the Duke's but they are still good size at 37 x 11.50R20. The 4 Magnum DRW wheels are coming from American Force in the coming weeks. Excited to see it all together on the Ponderosa.

Re: The Ponderosa crew cab 64-66
 

Hi Randall,
Ponderosa is looking fantastic.

Question: Did they weld the wheel outer to the bed side?

Thanks, Dan
