I saw the talk about doing an extra cab so I thought I would share mine.

Devillusion · 10-01-2013, 01:07 AM

That actually doesnt look half bad....one of the best extended cabs I have seen in this gen I think. Nice work.

In addition to that I will be coming up with some kind of way of concealing a sound system, so that it can be heard but not seen.

Finally got the t-shirts back that we will be selling at the Portland Swap Meet. I think they turned out great (see picture below).

what size tires and wheels are you running? I guess 16", but how wide? and what width and height do the tires have? Thanks...

That is still the best looking stretch/EC I've ever seen on one of these. Beside it being a badass truck.

Whoa! You're just a county over from me and I've never seen this truck before?!? Man I need to get out more!

Randall - just read through the entire build - WOW, you are an amazing Fabricator!! Besides you not liking Chevy Orange motors

- I love everything you've done - amazing truck! Thanks for spending the time to share your build(s) with us - Ronnie

jimbug · 02-23-2014, 03:05 AM

Wow! So nice!
Been dreaming about this since I sold my 72 burb
I have an 07 QC Lb dodge w the 5.9 now. Can you give me a price to swap onto my frame/ drivetrain and convert to 4wd? Rphayton3@yahoo.com
Thanks looks *****en!

ChevyChaser · 02-24-2014, 02:24 PM

I live in Yakima, WA. Have you thought about making camper shells from the old Suburban back halfs? I would love my truck to have a nice bed cover for the winter to keep my tools dry. I really don't like the few fiberglass ones i have found as i think they ruin the aesthetic of these beautiful old trucks.

Oh, and I just bought my first Old Chevy a few weeks ago. I am really excited to see a shop like yours within a reasonable drive from here.

'71 Cheyenne 20, 4x4, Tilt, Custom Cab, Dealer One ton Springs, Uncut Dash, A/C Cab....only thing its missing is a Tach.

I also can't find anyone i trust here to fix the couple places this truck has rust. I would say its easily 95% rust free. Can i take pics of the spots and mail them to you for a rough quote?

Keep up the Epic work!!!

You also appear to be using the stock C pillar/wall assembly with modified rear doors.

Do you have to extend the frame with this? If so.. by how much? Love these dual cab trucks!

Randal the hitch install looks great. Nice work as usual. I will be doing the same thing to my 68 C20.

As for jbclassix comment: I have swapped the trailing arms parts in place of 2wd leaf parts and everything fits right in place. Most of the mount holes are not the same however so lots of measuring & drilling is required. The holes were there in the forward trailing arm mount but the actual mount brackets were not installed on the leaf frame. Lots of fun getting those off the donor undamaged.

My 2wd leaf frame was a Chevy optioned with leaf and it had dimples embossed into the frame to generally locate the leaf spring hangers. These are not on any of the trailing arm vehicles I have. Don't know if they are on the GMC's with standard leaf suspension.

I will be putting the leaf parts into my 67 Suburban in place of the trailing arm setup some time soon. Those dimples would make things far easier to set up if they were there.

Some of the Trucks that are currently under construction at rtech fabrications. I will sometime soon start build threads for the different projects but for now you can see what is in the works.

Splash4195 · 02-05-2015, 10:17 PM

Super cool!

So cool! I love the medium duty suburban version! That would be a grea two/camping rig!

ChuckDriver · 02-06-2015, 11:33 AM

On our way back from picking up our new swap meet trailer. And of course we had to stop and make our contribution.

awesome!!!

but isn´t the trailer really close to the back of the truck???

83GMCK2500 · 03-09-2015, 11:39 AM

Hey Randall, I took a look at the crew cab yesterday in Puyallup...INCREDIBLE! One of the most classy "restored" trucks that is still functional and works hard I have seen. Ma General missed the boat by not building that thing as you have.

Thank you for those fine words. Planning to take it and Drill Sergeant to Good Guys in July, if you get a chance and are there stop by and say hi.

(pic is of Drill Sergeant, its close to being on the road)

atvpro · 05-04-2015, 03:35 PM

Had the crew cab (Cowboy) and the K50 (Drill Sergeant) in a car show over the weekend. Thought the crew cab was a good sized until I parked them next to each other but Drill Sergeant received a People's Choice Award so no complaints

Bladeboy1998 · 05-05-2015, 09:13 AM

I love the drill sergeant! Congrats on the award.

Splash4195 · 05-24-2015, 10:59 PM

These are pretty cool trucks!

swamp rat · 05-25-2015, 01:39 PM

If i lived in Spokane i'd be knocking on your door for help, your trucks kick ass.

ChuckDriver · 05-25-2015, 08:21 PM

Awesome trucks!!

Cumminpwr11 · 05-28-2015, 07:00 PM

I wish I could afford this conversion. I would much rather have a crew cab 4 door than my suburban. lol

Can you stretch it a little bit longer like a mega cab? I'd like extra storage especially since I don't need the fuel tank I would run under the bed large tanks
