There was a real nice one on Ebay a few months back, I think he only wanted $75,000
It was a real sweet truck though!

My buddy PreRunnerRob (hasn't been on here for a while) just cut up his '63 Crewcab project ...

It was unfortuneate, but he came up on a nice Burban to take its place.

I was there to haul away all the steel ... ;(

So to date no one has completed a "home" build crew cab , why dont we start a thread where anyone who has an original 60-63 can post up measurements and photos to help out the guys that do want to do this ???

Looks good

Did you make your own piece for the upper door opening?

I see a yellow crewcab in the background. Are you using that for reference?

He kept texting me pics of the truck cab(s)... well ... crew cab process.

And kept asking me if I need any parts ....

"YA !!!"

We went back and forth, and I figured I was gonna haul the whole cab away...

JUST DIDNT KNOW IT WAS GONNA BE IN PIECES !!!

He had the chassis done, with PB suspension... The steering nothes were there but not reinforced.

He went to move the truck on a jack, and the frame split at the notches...

(No big deal I thought ?!?!)

But for him, it was the last straw, cut it up, and bought a suburban.

NOW...

That is for sale too !!!



The Sub is a 66 GMC, front and rear PB, 5.3 w/OD tranny, in case anyone is interested !!

That's looking good! Sometime the area between the windows can look kinda goofy but I think you nailed it. hope to see it at some shows in the future.
