Hey thanks. Ya, there are two windows on top. Here is a shot of the top front and the side showing what it looks like over the rear window. Still some masking tape stuck on the top of the windshield.

ugh, your gonna make me go outside again for another picture I knew it... tell ya what, I'll take a few more, get the better ones and then post. It's pretty big inside as you could imagine. I replaced the carpet and front seats (back seat will work for now). Resurfaced the dash (what a job that was) and painted the frame. I still need to replace the carrier bearing on the drive shaft and figure something out for the exhaust (something scary). Just painted it two weeks ago, did the best I could (looks great at dusk or from 8 feet away and/or not in bright sunlight). Got it back in July. I still need some tires for the back, the'll get buy for a little while though. And thanks, it's not a show truck but I like it.

holy toledo your truck looks bad ass is that custom made?

I was saying that lifted truck is a little ripe, i didn't see yours though.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 
ah shucks, thanks. now I feel better. Ya, it's a custom. Not mine but a few companies made em back in the 80's. Called an Overland Coach. There are still a few around but they are hard to find in good shape. I found this one in TN. Very little almost not rust. Surface rust on the springs and stuff but nothing else really. I had three quad cabs I was interested in and I thought this one being so unusual would be cool to make nice.

Thanks I've only been working on it for about a week. I started with a dually and cut it down and swapped the suspension with the 1/2 ton spindles,springs, flip kit and rebuilt all of it while i was there new upper - lower shaft kits ball joints tie rods pitman arm idler arm wheel bearing seals rotors calipers brake hoses. I want to paint it Black satin or gloss I have not decided yet. I'm parting out a 88 suburban TBI 454 all the interior etc it's a one owner 83k original mile truck. well anyways i'll post more progress as it comes . later Paul
