truckin mag.
does anybody remember an article in truckin magazine about 1999-2000 called red rocker. about someone i think in Az. that took a square body crew cab dually, and shortened it to a short bed with the fiberglass fenders. and i think it was lowered some. if someone has it, could it be put on this site some how ? thanks, Art

Re: truckin mag.
thanks budgetstperformance, thats a bad looking crew hillshotrods has, i have that article. the one i'm looking for was back around 1999 in truckin ( i think ). it was a dual wheel one ton that had been built into a short bed with dually fenders. i remember the article, just can't find it. thanks again, Art

Re: truckin mag.
If I remember the article correctly that truck is supposed to have started out as a 3/4 ton crew cab short box and it was just customized and lowered and still has the eight lug axles under it because they use it as a hauler.

Re: truckin mag.
Red Rocker was a standard cab truck, not a crew cab...the truck above is NOT Red Rocker...unless it was turned into a crew cab.

Re: truckin mag.
I think you are mixing a number of builds in there..
Red Rocker was Travis Novaks truck the Hills built it was a regular cab as Jeff pointed out. The Shortened Crew Cab was a 3/4T but it has no fiberglass fenders.

Re: truckin mag.
i agree with the looks of a short bed crew. i don't think G. m. had a short bed crew cab in the square body. i may be wrong, lets ask capt. he will know. what about it capt. ?

Re: truckin mag.
No, GM did not make a 73-87 CC SWB. They were all LWB in either single wheel or dual wheel configuration. They did not offer a SWB CC until 98, and that was a 2500 series.
