does any body else have a 67-72 crewcab? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

crew70 · 06-20-2002, 06:44 PM

could you post pics if you have one.where did you get it and stuff like that.

Longhorn Man · 06-20-2002, 07:11 PM

All these trucks are/were board members trucks;
This one used to belong to Crews

I can't remember this guys name...I think it's up for grabs right now;

Mr Alaska-something or another ( I really suck with names);

I still have your pics...still need to put them on my site...

**ThreeQuarter** · 06-20-2002, 09:35 PM

I have no pics, but I saw one on my way back from the (Texas) Panhandle a couple of weeks ago, in Santo, TX. The owner was outside so I stopped and chatted with him about it for awhile. It was a red crew cab dually made from a burb (three doors), but with a pickup's roof (lower). He used 88-98 dually fenders. It looked really sharp. In fact, I think it may be the red one I've seen in pics around the board, but I'd have to see the pic again to be sure.

Then he showed me the LIFTED 4wd fleetside he was still working on in the shop. Woah! It was pretty slick. He used a burb for this one, too, but used the higher roof. I remember looking up and seeing a roof-mounted rear AC in there. I forgot the amount of lift on it but the rocker panel was above my belt (I'm 6'3"). I tried to turn him on to this page but he doesn't have internet.

Does anyone have a pic of that lowered red crew cab 72-ish dually with a custom grille?

*Gee_Emm* · 06-20-2002, 10:53 PM

Not mine but......

It was quite an exciting day when I discovered this one. It lives in a undisclosed location in Minnesota

Heavy-Chevy · 06-21-2002, 12:06 AM

Is Crews still around?

I love that 1970 4x4 3/4 w/ a 402,that is awsome!!!!

Heavy-Chevy · 06-21-2002, 12:07 AM

Is there more pics of the 1970 crew?

Project1970 · 06-21-2002, 06:37 AM

A guy down the street from my new house is having one built, with a Burb 3rd door and a fourth one fabbed...he says it should be done sometime near the end of this year...

I'll get pics when I come back up for winter break.

Low69CST · 06-21-2002, 09:16 AM

Those are some long a$$ trucks. I don't think I could drive one!

Longhorn Man · 06-21-2002, 12:01 PM

Crews is still around, just not as much. He went full time on the driving gig.
I think he sold the crew cab, I know he was talking bout it, and now it is no longer in his signiture, sooo....
He should be stoppiung by today on his way through Columbus.

>X< · 06-21-2002, 12:06 PM

hey longhornmail, that white one was buit special order for theforestry service, for some national park or something, hterea a couple of them around, i htinki read that on the board or on ebay or something

Longhorn Man · 06-21-2002, 02:40 PM

Coulda been e-bay, coulda been his site.
Funny thing is, any one who has done any reasearch on the long 4 door ones always come up with forestry division, while the blue alaska truck up there is said to have been an alaska pipeline truck.
No telling who did what or anything. I have not done much research on them at all, and I just repeat what the owners have found.

toms68cst · 06-21-2002, 05:56 PM

I wonder if the company that did those conversions is still in business. Is there any paperwork or emblems with those crews that would give us a hint? They might have any records of how many were done or perhaps plans as to how they were done.

toms68cst · 06-21-2002, 05:59 PM

I found this list off this 60-66 web site. It's pretty cool.

http://www.favorites.com/~jolly/CrewCabs.htm

Here is a list of builders that I have found to-date;

Alton Co. Pigeon Michigan, www.altonco.com.

Automotive Industries Inc. Owendale, Michigan

Orrville Metal Specialty Co. Orrville Ohio

Armbruster & company, Inc Fort Smith Arkansas

Proctor-Keefe Body Co., Inc. Detroit Michigan

Montpelier Manufacturing Company of Montpelier, Ohio

My Dad has a crew it is 4 whell drive 3/4 ton,and he bought it in San Antonio ,Tx.it is from Californa it was built for the Los Angelas transit co.it is a long bed and it has all four doors

Patrick Sullivan · 06-22-2002, 02:44 AM

The white one and Mr. Alaska's are definately the best looking..

No offense, but I really don't like the other ones.. the triangular chunk of steel between windows is really ugly.

Longhorn Man · 06-22-2002, 07:21 AM

I accidently insulted a member on here about a year ago by calling these FUGLY.
They are growing on me though.
Another company that did conversions got G.M. and is still in bussness today, as Crown and also I thinik it's called asi. Crown did conversions on the 60 - 66 trucks, and I know asi did Buick custom (dealer) work, and through the 80's they did lots of convertables, like the Camaro and Caviler. These are actually NOT assembly line cars, they all started just like any other hard roofed car.

crew70 · 06-22-2002, 11:58 AM

FUGLY TRUCKS!!!!! IM not insulted . I think mine is fugly .but Its cool ugly!! like a fugly girl with huge b@@bs. or something like that. its not good looking but everybody stares atit.haha.
I yhink that its cool because of the history ( conversation peace) and the fact that knowbody else I know around here has one.

hay 72 burb could you post pics?
