Re: 72 Crew Cab build thread
Well, I just finished making the long box into a short, what a joke- so easy. Check out the project thread and see it done.

Re: 72 Crew Cab build thread
I have beem watching the frankenstein thread and it has given me the desire to build one , so I have listed my std cab and doors for sale or trade for a suburban ..... I'm gonna use a stock style frame for mine, I have porterbuilt suspension pieces. I have talked to Nate at porterbuilt about a 1-ton dually set up and he says he has the control arms for it. I am planning on L-S series engine and a 4L60e for a transmission. If I could photoshop I would like to see what a shortbed crue cab dually would look like as I have a short bed already .

I am using a new frame and powerplant so that I get great abs brakes, power rack and pinion and a host of other modern conveniences. One in particular that I am stoked about.

It'll fit in my shop easy. The Blue pic is just a photoshop of the gold one. Mine will be the factory white-blue-white-blue two tone. I have a picture of that combo in the build thread.

Re: 72 Crew Cab build thread

Re: 72 Crew Cab build thread
Drew, Just wondering how you're going to build your mounts? I installed a 72 body on a 02 Dodge frame (with a Cummins!) & it wasn't too tough. Kirk

Re: 72 Crew Cab build thread
Biscuit rubber mounts from new truck will sit on a flat plate welded to the frame. The old body mount bolts line up right over the frame in most places so it will be a perfect direct load path.

Re: 72 Crew Cab build thread
I love it, but every time I see that thing it leaves me thinking about selling my extra cab and going on a road trip. Maybe after I get the truck up and running that will happen.
