3 Door 72 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**chevy71super** · 02-01-2003, 10:16 AM

I came across this truck at the body shop while working on mine. It has a thrid door grafted into it. I guess its been sitting there for a couple of years. A long story. It has a big block. Here's the first picture.

That is sweet. Even better than a burb converted crew-cab.

*Gee_Emm* · 02-01-2003, 11:54 AM

Probably started in the mid 90's ????

Thats when that door style came to be on the newer trucks

FRENCHBLUE72 · 02-01-2003, 11:54 AM

chevy2racr · 02-01-2003, 06:54 PM

baggedblaz · 02-01-2003, 11:55 PM

chevy2racr · 02-03-2003, 12:10 AM

ttt??

baggedblaz · 02-03-2003, 12:22 AM

i would like some more detailed pics of the door jamb ie the hinges or the back side of the door?
thanks

*racedvl* · 02-03-2003, 12:35 AM

I think that burb doors would have looked better. Just that the rounded part really looks as if it belongs at the back of the cab. But, I must say, that does look sweet, and has to have a ton of work put into it.

**chevy71super** · 02-04-2003, 01:22 AM

I got some shots of the hinges but I need to re-size them before I can post. Hopefully will get it done in the next day or two.

baggedblaz · 02-04-2003, 01:40 AM

cool thanks ..
let us know..

meathead95 · 02-04-2003, 10:32 AM

I think that door configuration is the best one I have seen yet.

**chevy71super** · 02-05-2003, 01:16 AM

Here are some more pictures that I promised. Please excuse the quality.

**chevy71super** · 02-05-2003, 01:18 AM

Another.

**chevy71super** · 02-05-2003, 01:23 AM

Seems I may have missed one. Trying again. Hope its not a repeat.

baggedblaz · 02-05-2003, 01:26 AM

hey thanks super!looks good from my angle...

**chevy71super** · 02-05-2003, 01:27 AM

OK this is the last picture I have. Just another one from the rear of the truck. (Its a long beast.) It has a cowl hood on it. This is the second bodyshop the truck has been in. I was told the first one went bankrupt. The guy working now working on the truck said he would approach it differently if he began the project. He would have cut down a burb instead of lengthening a standard cab. The third door is fabricated from a right hand door. It could be a very cool truck with alot of work.

71super, where is this body shop?
Are you in Wa. state? I've been thinking of a crew cab conversion. Thanks.
