Cool pics, Crew70. Was that frame lengthened by the conversion company or is it a factory frame? Man that thing is long!

Longhorn Man · 06-21-2002, 11:23 PM

How many ppl did it take to lift that cab off of the frame?
I bet that sucker was heavy.

toms68cst · 06-21-2002, 11:38 PM

Snap some close-ups of how they joined the two cabs together when you have it tore apart. That'd be cool to see.

crew70 · 06-21-2002, 11:50 PM

sorry but it only took one guy to get that cab off.I used 2 comealongs to the trusses in my garage. scarry!!! it is heavy!! the frame was a 127 in wheel base and was lengthend buy the couch company. I think? there is a 1/4 in thick plate running the sides for added suport.

this guy I work with used to work for a company in Bird Island MN and they had a 70,71,72 and he siad that the 70 frame bent from the weight so they had to reinforce it.71,72s were alriady done.
this construction compony also bought these trucks new as did the rancher that i bought mine from.so I dont beleave that these were just forestry trucks.just speical ordered trucks.

Crew70 You turkey!!!! LOL I wasn't planning on fixing the Crew Cab I got from Crews. sigh I will have to thank it over again now.
That looks like one fine ugly 4 door ride you have going there. The lift on that truck tell me about it. Mine is not a 4-wheel drive
but I think I need to lift mine after seeing yours.
