Nice Double cab not mine - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tmade · 09-10-2012, 09:49 PM

I was on my way to work and had to turn around under the freeway and snap a couple of pics of this. It was being transported from Texas(of course plates) to somewhere else in Texas the driver was saying. The truck had a badge on the door that said "Vandergriff." I've searched everywhere on the net and can't find anything about that particular truck. Don't know if it was a special order or what. I do know that Vandergriff Chevrolet is in Arlington. I don't know if that was a badge they put on the truck at the dealership or what. If so it seems it was going back home because it was going back that way or towards Houston. Oh well enough of my babbling, the truck had bags on it and the interior seemed nice. Hope its a member's truck so we can know a little more about this beauty!!!

Kinda unusual to see one built from a 1/2t. Pretty nice Rancher Deluxe

Yea me too that's why I turned around, I wanted to ask questions see where he was going and what the plans were for it.

midniteblues · 09-10-2012, 10:39 PM

very cool, Imagine trying too find a parking space for that on a sunday evening

I said in another thread in the wiw section that there are sooo many people out there that dont even know they even made such a critter.

I'm on another trucking board on the net.well 2 of them.

tmade · 09-10-2012, 11:14 PM

On the side of his truck he had transporters network if that helps.

Haven't never heard of transporters network.But it is a transporters network of companies though. Not trying to be short but haven't heard of them.A name would help.

Most were conversions done for rail or mining companies

That is a looooooooooooooong truck! You wouldn't be able to drop it, it would get hung up on everything

Tinkermc · 09-10-2012, 11:36 PM

I like the ones being built now verses 2 front doors JMHO

**Hart_Rod** · 09-11-2012, 09:17 AM

Nice truck. Some one the board bought and sold it about 5 years ago (I cant find the link.) Would be cool to see who ends up with it.

Are you going to follow it? Can't be more than 500 miles or so can it? :-)

CG · 09-12-2012, 10:40 PM

Now this is just IMO =) I think those conversions are pretty close to the ugliest truck ever. They don't even have that "so ugly its cool" thing going on. Like I said IMO lol.

I realize they were a work specific kind of thing so styling wasn't even worried about. But if you look at the Ford truck four doors done at the same time, they are perfectly proportioned. I still wouldn't buy one though. (hoping to keep my Chevy Truck Card lol)
