Well I got the tailgate on, looks good and a bed mat for the floor of the truck that can be trimmed for a shortbed.

hvychve · 02-14-2007, 01:20 AM

what a kickbutt build... I can't wait to see paint on that bad boy... look'n darn good so far.....pick a good color.....thats an order....

extd56 · 02-14-2007, 01:33 AM

Whats a good color? I was going to paint it orange with a white top, now maybe blue with a white top. I have a ways to go before that day comes when I have to decide what color and I am always looking at the cars on the road to see what colors are on them.

Rokcrln · 02-14-2007, 07:56 AM

What ever color you pick buy alot of it! You might also want to check into those turn signals that the big rigs use showing a person getting run over on the inside corner! That is one long sob

It does'nt look as long now that is it lifted a bit.

I felt like I was pulling a semi when I towed mine home.

cojnit · 02-14-2007, 11:26 AM

I towed the suburban home on a flatbed with a tahoe like that, the tahoe got airborne when the sub was first on the trailer. Suckers are HEAVY!

**Hart_Rod** · 02-14-2007, 12:38 PM

Worst part about pulling it was that the rear had no shocks (the mounts were broken). Once it started bouncing, it was like a bucking bronco errhh I mean bucking donkey

. We had to improvise and tied cargo straps around the axle and frame,

. The only time that was a problem after that was from Beaumont to Baton Rouge

. Those roads suck!!

Man, ain't that the truth. Makes the roads in Pennsylvania look like the Autobaun

**Hart_Rod** · 02-25-2007, 10:13 PM

Dang, this thread is addicting! I just read the entire thing again (4th time!). BTTT!

extd56 · 02-25-2007, 11:01 PM

I was going to try and work some more on this but it keeps raining and I don't work good in the rain.

Thanks, Rick

The project is on hold while I get my 38 Chrysler done and get some family stuff done.

This may be a dumb question but you can buy 4 door 67-72 chevy's right? Like I can't find one anywhere and I didn't know if they all were custom home built or what...if anyone has one for sale or would be willing to trade it let me know

Rokcrln · 09-01-2007, 12:11 PM

Their were some built by coach companys but not alot and the ones that were don't look right to me. This one was built out of a 3 door burb with alot of extra work to get a working 4th door and a factory look to the truck.

That one is a 3 Door, but I'm sure ROK could make it a 4 door if you paid him enough.

Here's a link to mine.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=226302

It is actually a 67 cab that was cut in half and stretched 33 inches. The stretch part was hand fabricated. They're all for sale for the right price,

. I think they are asking $45K for the Gold one.

classicchev · 09-01-2007, 12:10 PM

Only way to get one is to build it. They did make crew cabs, 3 door and NOTHING like what Rokcrln and Extd56 have done.

I think if somebody started making these, they would sell tons, I would buy one.
I dont know if this one is still for sale, and whatever the asking price is its worth every penny.

seans1 · 09-08-2007, 04:31 PM

I am always amazed to see anyone do anything really well. Bodywork scares me. It looks fantastic. Keep up the great work.

chris@bigjranch.com · 11-13-2007, 07:53 PM

I've been waiting to see something hapen with this thread. Great to know the project is still alive!!!

LOW DOUGH · 11-16-2007, 05:43 PM

that truck is so cool. I wasted about 2 hours here at the work place reading this. SO SO VERY COOL

extd56 · 02-03-2008, 10:13 AM

Put on a different bed that I got from a truck that I bought, i guess it will be a parts truck now.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 02-04-2008, 12:15 AM

Damn that thing is super long...

I agree I keeped trying to get him to let me chop it down to a 5 1/2" bed like the new short crew cabs but he said it would be a waist not to use all the parking space allowed by law and then some

Looks good and your extended cab paint has burnt heat spots into my new 24" computer screen, thanks!!
