Saw this stretched truck by road today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jacfourteen · 06-26-2009, 01:18 AM

I was on my way to my sister's house today, and I noticed this truck today. Funny thing is I know that I've seen it out of the corner of my eye a bunch of times, but today was the first time I actually noticed it. What do you guys think of it? I think the cab would look better on a longbed or longhorn frame with the back choped to fit a standard shortbed box. I just think it looks funny with no space between the cab and back tire. Sorry for the quality of the pic, but all I had was my cell phone and it was kinda far from the road.
PS: I like the fact that it's a GMC, you don't see any of these stretched

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that the back doors do open, thought I'd mention it since you can't really tell in the pic.

It looks like someone put it together more for purpose (hauling extra people) than looks.

**special-K** · 06-26-2009, 05:15 AM

Looks like Nissan copied off of that truck.I know the conversion companies made stretched cabs on standard frames cutting the ront of the bed short.

big_al_71 · 06-26-2009, 08:02 AM

looks like a good old farm work truck.....

some 22's air ride, some paint and you are set...

Stock72c10 · 06-26-2009, 09:29 AM

F@#d does that too with the Sport Trac. This guy was ahead of his time.

glock35ipsc · 06-26-2009, 09:38 AM

I'm with Tim, it looks like an original aftermarket conversion.

lts70 · 06-26-2009, 11:58 AM

Grab a good camera and go take some close-ups. I love to see these converted trucks.

basemodel67 · 06-26-2009, 12:12 PM

I don't know whether to laugh or vomit.

tcb-1 · 06-26-2009, 12:27 PM

see if the owner will part with it. she looks awefully lonely out there.

I kind of like it. originality ranks high in my book.....

19stepSide72 · 06-26-2009, 12:39 PM

close enough to me, I would be interested if decent shape.

prostreetC-10 · 06-26-2009, 12:45 PM

Do they take 2 cabs and weld them together? Looks like a long bed and a cab piggy backin a cab. Man....lotta work for what you get. Wonder how much road noise your passengers get sitting on the rear axle??

Here's a brochure of some different ones you could get built from Scot-bilts coach company....

prostreetC-10 · 06-26-2009, 03:02 PM

That is some crazy, ugly @$$ stuff right there! The one in the field looks better.

**El Jay** · 06-26-2009, 03:07 PM

Something like "function over form."

hicktownhotrodder · 06-27-2009, 09:35 PM

does anyone think it might be a 'burban? just a thought

**SactoJim** · 06-27-2009, 11:35 PM

Another plastic surgery gone horribly wrong.

It looks like it has truck front doors.....

**D.PASSMORE** · 06-28-2009, 07:03 AM

For the sake of this thread, you gotta get a few more pictures. That looks very intresting. Go knock on the owners front door, of course in the afternoon and tell him your story.
