So, did all the crewcabs have the chrome trim above the doors, or did some come without it? I'm thinking of removing mine and welding up the holes when I repaint it here soon. whatcha think?

It looks good with the drip rails shaved but they are their for a reason. I removed them from my burb to see how it was. When it rained hard the water would poor straight down on me and soaked me when I opened the door. I have also heard if your seals are worn out it will leak when the doors are closed too. I would not advise anyone that is in a area that rains a lot to remove them.

I was afraid of that. maybe I will just remove the stainless trim part and paint them the same color as the truck.

If you just take off the stainless the mounts have notches cut in them for screw access. I would either sand down and prime/paint the stainless ones or look for ones off a later (88-91) crew or suburban in the junkyard, they are one piece with no notches and were painted black. Hope this helps.

On a side note, my ton crew is coming together slowly but surely, got to test drive her today...

Thanks Joe, 7 inches front, 5 in rear, 18x9 XD's and 37" nitto's. For now has 350 with a 177 blower I had around from another project. Eventually I want to do a diesel swap, because we want to use it to tow our toys around. Trying to make it dependable. I replaced everything on the chassis when I did the lift. (Brakes, hoses, u-joints, bushings,etc.)

This is my truck. found this site while looking for crewcab shortbed pics. looks like my truck got here two years before me!
Its a 88 v30 that I shortened the bed and frame on 28 inches. it runs a cab and chassis rear, and d60 front with a spacer that comes off and goes on the rear so it can be single or dual wheel.
I have a 95 cummins in it with a nv4500 and 205.
I have several sets of the p30 rims, but haven't run them on the truck in a year or two.
heres some more pics. first is with the wheels painted dark.

and heres a single wheel pic.

its current status is wrecked, and going in my shop this coming week to get rebuilt.

I have a new 2wd frame that I'm gonna swap it onto, and cut it down for a standard shortbed this time. nothing wrong with the cab or bed, but I want to change it up while I have it all apart. no idea what I'm going to do with the shortened bed once I take it off. wheel spacing is all wrong for a trailer!
heres a link to the original build.

the 19.5's bolt right on. only reason I have a spacer is my front 60 is a single wheel, and I wanted to be able to swap back and forth. but if yours is a dually youre ready to go.

I ll look for a step van junk yard. lol There has to be a set n Phoenix somewhere! Thanks again. P.S. what duz the "60" mean I thought it was a p30 rim? Im new to the step van scene.
