ever seen a crew cab railroad 68?

[Dano69c10]

Are those companies that did these conversions still in business?

that RR truck looks NOT like a 68 from the grill. More like a 71-72

From Gene's opening post...

It is a 68 w/72 front clip air cab w/tilt sitting on 78 4X4 running gears.


Very interesting old thread!

I really like that truck hart_rod, I like that they lined up the doors together, straighened the front door edge. Well done for back in the day. That will get A LOT of attention at shows. Sorry no info

Holy quantum leap,Batman!!It`s cool to see this old thread.Ones like this need to get another round from time to time.I hate to tell you Rob,but that looks like the truck my drunken old uncle Bernie built out there in Arizona.He loved his two trucks,but was having alot of women trouble(as in,a few too many)and alot of them were looking for him(and alot of husbands).Well,he only needed to pass through town when going to work and didn`t want to move or get rid of either truck.So,he built this one and wore an Amish disguise through town every morning and evening so no one would notice.
True story,I swear.Huh?You don`t believe me,but you bought that other story??J/K,that would be awesome if it could pan-out.Surely someone from GM,past or present,would recall such a unique project on such a "break-through" model.

Special-K - That story sounds good to me! I'm just looking for a good reason not to redo the back of the front doors (make them square like subs) and make it a shortbed. Sounds to me like Uncle Bernie wouldn't mind, especially since those mods might help him pick up a couple of more women.

Damn it, that was in my back yard all this time and I didn't even know it!! I wonder if this is the third one of the three quiksilver was talking about? He said he bought two of the three, but the owner wanted to keep the third for himself? Anyways looking forward to seeing it in person when your buddy comes by, rob.

Mike,

Unfortunately, he's going the other direction. He'll be coming by your place, to Phoenix, and I'll probably meet him in DFW. Might have found a Powertrain..............

can't get enough of the crewcabs

wow... this thread was started 6 years ago!!!!!!!

If it weren't for the triangle deal in the back windows it might look alright - otherwise, to me, it just looks like two cabs welded together (which is what it is). Just my .02.

I would have to do some fab work and fix the back doors and the triangle pillar. Do something like the Suburbans back door.
