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!!!!!

atvpro · 12-09-2011, 05:44 PM

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!

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-12-2011, 08:01 PM

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

classicchev · 12-12-2011, 09:11 PM

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.

feller · 12-13-2011, 10:44 PM

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.

atvpro · 12-15-2011, 12:39 PM

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.

**Hart_Rod** · 12-15-2011, 03:39 PM

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.

Link to your build?

Do you have a build thread on here?

atvpro · 12-16-2011, 12:19 AM

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.

I have seen that truck before somewhere....

atvpro · 12-18-2011, 09:15 PM

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.

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.

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