67-72 chevy crew cabs

[renorev4fizzle]

hey evewryone!,


in the past couple of days i have been coming this forum for info on the illusive forest service and government aftermarket conversion crew cabs. i have also been looking for them online with no luck except for a sighting of big c50 i think in ohio (thanks to a fellow board member).

anyone know any good places to look for these trucks?
websites?, currently own one?

i am dying to get a hold of one of these things!

i know their ugly but i think that one of these would be a great project base for a "mega cab" chevy.

if anyone has any info on them i would greatly appreciate it!

I own one that I was told was a forest service truck, I have that that was built by a shop in Sacramento and I have one that was a Suburban.

This is the one that I bought in Sacramento that I have for sale on the board. Too many toys I am told.

wow!....

u have some sick rides there!... i really like the full crew in process of completion there!

i like the extended cab grey one alot.

is it completed? the interior shots may not be doing it justice...but it doesnt look quite done yet. is it new paint on the exterior?

being me i would repower it with a duramax/ allison combo and convert it to 4x4

with a mild lift.....

where are you located? i am looking for a full crew cab truck but the extended cab truck is sick as well...

I am in Vacaville so not too far from you.

The grey one is done, I actually use that one a bunch. The blue crew cab is not done but the plans for that were for a fuel injected 454 with a 4L80E trans.

i am in the process of finishing up my college carreer....and am looking ofr a cool project to occupy my down time after work. i wanted to do something that was unique and rare and these trucks definitly fit that bill. i dont have the money right now to buy any thing but that will soon be a thing of the past. just out of sheer curiousity would you ever be will to part with your blue crew?

i know how hard it is to part with somthing you really like, i had a 1972 cheyenne k-10 and sold it for chump change when i was young.....it hada tpi fuel injected motor and 8 in of lift and was always a work in progress.

thanx for the pix of your trucks its really cool to see some of the projects on here!

I might sell the truck before finishing it but after I finish it and my grandsons ride in ti that might be impossible.

[renorev4fizzle]

haha!...yeah the first ride i took in that 72 with my grandpa got me hooked....i cant stop thinking about these trucks...haha.

welli am super interested in it and would really like to come see it if your serious about it....if your into selling it or if you just wanna talk trucks....i really miss these trucks and can remember hours and hours of wrenching on mine...it went through several iterations when i owned it.

hehe

is this the the truck that has the incredible write up on adding the fourth door?

This GMC might be a little bizarre but might have looked nicer in good shape:

Thats the truck. Send me a PM when you are in the area and you can see the truck in person if you want.

Here are other pictures of crew cabs that have saw on the internet but are not mine.

[67_C-30]

Here's some more crew cabs for you.

[67_C-30]

More...

I must have missed this thread. I'll jump in. Here's mine. Originally a long bed 3/4T. Now a SWB 1/2 T.....

There's a 4 door crewcab that pops up for sale here locally...it's in and out of the local 4sale mag. It looks like a forestry/2cab conversion...it has the big triangle between the side windows.
They seem to want a bit much for it, iirc...like $6-7k. But, I've seen it for close to a year and maybe they're ready to make a deal.
I can keep an eye out if you like.
Limited photos but looked fairly straight.

sound great!.....thats kind what i am looking for!.....doesnt really matter if its 4x4 or not just want the body and frame. i dont plan on those triangle being there forever!....i was kinda thinking about makeing the back door look long and kinda like the dodge mega cabs....no on seems to have done that yet!

hehe, little metal sculpting and some new glass for the back doors and it will be set!..

hahaha yeah right..

if you could do that for me that would be great !!!! thanx Oldcreek!
