Re: Cab Forward info / ideas??
Found this one yesterday while searching a lot. Its a 63 GMC. Still has the original diesel, spicer trans and rearend. Its been parked for probably 20 years, but complete. The briars are thick, but it could be removed. Is this what your refering to?

Re: Cab Forward info / ideas??
There was a couple for sale at the Goodguys show last fall. They were missing way too many parts to make it appetizing. Didn't ask prices, but the urge was there. Someday I will have one to build.

Re: Cab Forward info / ideas??
I'm pretty sure that's a photo shop.
Although I do agree that would be way cool to build. Quote:

Re: Cab Forward info / ideas??
Ya that's my photoshoped baby. I think it would be awesome to build. But I think there is a cab forward version of these trucks but the lines are a little different.

I love that PhotoShop. I have an extra cab and front end I may play with just to see if I can replicate

Re: Cab Forward info / ideas??
Well it would sure give you something to do with all those front fenders that are rusted out!
The more I look at the photoshop pic, I like it!! I want a COE to put on my 1T chassis really bad, this gives me some ideas, also |

Re: Cab Forward info / ideas??
There is a picture on here somewhere of a flat faced cab that was custom built by a manufacturer back in the 60's. I never saved the picture of the truck by the city of Edmonton Ab.
A Cab Over would look nice on a 1 ton chassis.

Re: Cab Forward info / ideas??

Re: Cab Forward info / ideas??
whats missing in the photoshop of the tan one that is present in the real picture of the red one is HEIGHT. the tan one looks cool enough but then you realize the inner fenders would start at about the front of the seat and the motor would be further back than that. you would need your feet on the dash to go anywhere. not to be buzz killington, but there is no room in the floorboards in that photoshop.

Re: Cab Forward info / ideas??
So then a photochop with the wheel opening under and behind the seat is required as in the G model vans from 1964+ as well as Corvair mentioned above. Mid engine of course.

Re: Cab Forward info / ideas??
The photoshop is very close to the design of the modern 80's G- vans.
Which do have "some" foot room in the floor. I think one could be built! Peel the skin off a g van and add the 60's pieces to make it look right. Mike.
