1972 chevy crew cab
 

My wife decided to surprise me with my first project for my new shop.....
i was surprised. 1972 chevy crew cab i can't find a whole lot of info on.
I was told only 1500 made for military order. any info you all may have on this beast is welcome. yes......it is ugly.

Re: 1972 chevy crew cab
 

They were built by aftermarket companies, not by GM. They could be purchased by anyone, but you find them more commonly having been owned by railroads and logging companies.
I think one of the comanies was called Scot-Built or something like that. A couple board members have some original sales literature, hopefully someone else will chime in.

That truck is awesome!!!!!

Re: 1972 chevy crew cab
 

cool:metal:. Looks like they should've put an upside down wing window in that spot between the doors.

Re: 1972 chevy crew cab
 

Do a search here. There are a few of them.

Re: 1972 chevy crew cab
 

Thats a pretty cool ride. Most I've seen were 4 x 4's or 3/4 tons like the one I found here in Austin.....

I think if you search my old post you will see links to the scott-bilt information.

Nice ride, would love to see what you do with it.

THe guy with this one was told by someone at GM that this truck was a railroad truck and only 57 of them were made.

Yeah i read all the threads i could find on it. Got a little more info on it. It's not in real bad shape and it runs great. It will still be the biggest project i've taken on. Fortunately
i have some family members with the skills to help out. My father inlaw is finishing up a 71 4x4 right now, i'll get some pics for you all.

As has been said before, GM never did build crew cabs out of the 67-72s. Any that were made were contracted out to coachbuilders around the country for rail and lumber crews mostly. I don't doubt that the military might have had a couple.

Obviously, being built aftermarket, there are a bunch of variations of the crew cab theme. The Pacific Coach (Portland) conversion is my personal favorite, a shortbed lwb truck:
