Dinos63 · 07-19-2010, 02:25 PM

NICE!!!! PICS???

61TWUK · 07-19-2010, 03:31 PM

ok don't judge by the window... but here!!!

72BlckButy · 07-19-2010, 04:15 PM

Nice!

**Clyde65** · 07-19-2010, 05:12 PM

Very Odd it actually has a regular shortbed on it! How cool!

61TWUK · 07-19-2010, 05:21 PM

Yes and look at the rear doors: different than Dino's.... Shape,and actually has wing windows. And the roof is different. And this one is a true 4 door not a three door... It's a lot like preachermans...

61TWUK · 07-19-2010, 05:21 PM

Dino's is still my goal though!!!!!

**Clyde65** · 07-19-2010, 05:40 PM

THese were created by about 3 or 4 coach companies and I have found that they all do some things different, also yours could be different because it is a 60-63 with the dog leg doors, cool anyway!

61TWUK · 07-19-2010, 05:46 PM

Yes I believe this one was built by Crown.... Man I love these trucks I've been searching ever since I saw Dino's....and it doesn't hurt that I love 61's

jonzcustomshop · 07-19-2010, 05:54 PM

hey awesome find! you've been looking serious for about a year now right?
after you get it in hand you'll have to tell us how/ where you found it.

preacherman thought his was a crown crewcab, only difference I see is his roof starts the second level at the first cab, yours, at the back of the second cab..

61TWUK · 07-19-2010, 06:00 PM

Yes this one has doors like preachermans but the roof like dino's

61TWUK · 07-19-2010, 06:03 PM

I like the doors and roof on this one the best!!! Luckly for me it's the one I ended up finding!!!! I do still know where a great 64 crew is if anyone is interested....(running and driving) I just wanted and found a pre-64 body style before I settled on that one... Haha as if you can settle on a CC....

amueller454 · 07-19-2010, 06:23 PM

man that is a sweet truck! and you gotta love those 60-61 hoods! they are like the ugly ducklings, they are so ugly you cant help but fall in love with them

now i think you should buy my 60 milk truck and you would be set!

after you put 61 hood inserts in of course
