Great build, keep it up. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Okiefromwatonga · 08-29-2016, 06:27 PM

Ok, just read the whole thing and im subed. I want to make a 3 door Extebded cab for my GMC 5500

Rednwhitec20 · 09-14-2016, 10:00 AM

Any updates on that old girl? Jealous of the crew cab! Also what are your plans for the front shaft to clear? You mentioned using the chevy front with the np205.

**71blksuper4x4** · 09-14-2016, 08:22 PM

Nothing since March.... I bought an 89' V3500 or K30 crew cab to drive until I finished the 72'. What started as just a cheap teuck, I can't leave well alone. Turned it into a resto with the whole 9. Lift, tires, wheels, nv4500 swap, shortening the wheelbase etc.
The old girl is sitting right now.

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-14-2016, 09:17 PM

I'm glad to see I'm not the only project hound.

Sounds like a nice project Trevor!

Rednwhitec20 · 09-14-2016, 11:17 PM

Wish I had enough funds for multiple projects

nice trucks!

I have 3 projects, and I don't have enough for 1!

Nice Trevor, that's how our K30 build started quick & easy!

70custom20 · 09-21-2016, 06:13 PM

Holy s*** is that a lot of work, it looks great. I would love to do something like what you're doing, I'd probably be in my 50's (I'm 43 now) by the time I got done with it, IF I got done with it. Great work, this is a truck that GM should have built.

Sorry for the previous double post?? Just curious, would it be easier to start with a crew cab, and shorten the rear doors, then shorten the cab to match? I know the factory crew cab trucks have the full doors front and rear, but would it save work instead of building a B Pillar and a fourth door? Maybe this has been discussed before? Thanks, again great work.

You could do that, but you would have a gap between the doors, unlike the clean look of the suburban doors and later style crew cabs. That and you have to locate a crew cab.

70custom20 · 09-23-2016, 04:47 PM

Yeah, I just google searched the crew cabs, now I know why guys use the suburban body to start with, much better looking imho. A guy a couple miles from me actually has two crew cabs, but I haven't seen them in so long, I forgot what they looked like.

Such awesome work you are doing!

Bagd72Chevy · 12-19-2016, 05:36 PM

Such a nice build. Never found this one before.

**Hart_Rod** · 12-19-2016, 06:20 PM

Trevor the truck looks great! Quick question, are the rear window roll-up mechanisms the same as the front door? Thanks,

Rob

**rgreathouse** · 02-21-2017, 11:00 PM

amazing build! any updates? and question, for the 4th door does a front door body line match or did you have to modify? it appears the upper body line on a stock front door tappers down.

great work!

Hey Rob, sorry I missed your question months ago. The regulator's are the same, but the linkage is way different.

**rgreathouse** · 05-15-2017, 05:02 PM

any updates? looking good! Did you use a drivers side front rocker for the 4th door rocker?

**71blksuper4x4** · 05-15-2017, 10:14 PM

No new progress, been working on a CJ10a jeep. It's a factory diesel jeep.
I think I remember taking a passenger and a driver side rocker panel to make the fourth rocker.

7dee2 · 05-16-2017, 09:09 AM

That's pretty kool!

Farm Shop · 05-24-2017, 08:51 AM

Awesome build!

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-24-2017, 03:19 PM

Nice Jeep! Which engine is in it? My brother's friend had a wagoner with one in it.
