Damn I woulda loved to have your cc.Perfect build.

Saw the crew cab At Carl Casper's custom auto show here in Louisville, KY last weekend. Anybody know if the new owner is on here? I talked to him for a minute... before I realized it was the famous "dino's old truck" lol. Awesome to see a truck of this caliber in my area.

Here's a pic from my phone

I saw it too and didn't realize it was the same truck until looking at it again in this post. One bad ride.

I think that this is one of the coolest crew cabs Ive seen. It looks to me that the rear fenders have been moved forward some...or is just me? Looks like the steps have been removed? Or did they come this way? Its a cool old truck though.

[padresag]

that was the way that the coach builder put it together to more than likely make it fit a std wheelbase. wonder whether it was a 1ton chassis

Not sure, that could account for it. I like the truck, just think it would look better with the rear fenders displaced a little better. I would center them up more or put more like the 60-66 rears with the bumper wrapping around the rear fender. The problem with that is the wheel wont be centered in the fender. Cant win them all i guess

The new owner did register on here awhile back.
He also owns my old white 63 suburban, which hes since bagged.

My guess on changing exterior was just to make it his own. Everyone on the planet knows it as Dino's crewcab.....

The 48-59 guys helped with some more pics of the older crewcab

I thought Matt had your old Sub, or did you have more than one?

I am on here. The paint was actually done by a shop in Florida before I got it. I probably wouldnt have picked that color, but I believe I like it better than the lime green. Got all the wiring replaced, signals working, wipers working, all new weatherstripping installed and ready to go. Now on to putting in a bed floor.

Damnit man, I tried for a week to remember what you said your name was on here

Also, pics of the truck from Casper popped up all over the internet for a while after that, in case you didn't know lol

[jblev64]

Well now you know. I have been traveling for work and havent had much time.

[ibanezer]

Cool man, you planning on taking the truck to any shows/cruises around here?

[jblev64]

I am sure we will get it out when the cruises start up.

[1963c-10]

This is the build Id like to do. Crew cab w/spare tire fender. It looks like it has a GM hood & grill. Im also interested in finding some info on the windshield visor for the 60-63 if anyone has any info on them.

Yeah I thought so too. I know its not a 60-66, but was rare enough that I wanted to share it with the rest of the board.
