ojoe's crewcab shortbed build - Page 6 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

nice build. makes me glad I am finished with my 63. when it is done, all the time/money/headaches are worth it. i do like taking a break before starting another build (like a year or two).

wildmanaaron · 08-05-2008, 09:32 PM

I am dying to start on one of these conversions. If anybody sees a crew cab for sale in a state close to KY let me know. I want a factory automatic truck and one that is a 2WD.

I was dragging my feet a week or two ago and didn't make an offer on one locally. It was a 1989 3500, single rear wheel, little rust, 2WD crew cab. They were asking $1500 for it and it ran!

mike nutt · 09-20-2008, 08:54 PM

the truck is back from the body shop. here's a few pics .

VERY nice! And the LS style engine really makes it sweet.
