Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
When I towed the crewcab home it barely fit with the rear wheels just on the trailer and the bed hanging out over the trailer.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Worst part about pulling it was that the rear had no shocks (the mounts were broken). Once it started bouncing, it was like a bucking bronco errhh I mean bucking donkey. We had to improvise and tied cargo straps around the axle and frame, . The only time that was a problem after that was from Beaumont to Baton Rouge . Those roads suck!!

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
This may be a dumb question but you can buy 4 door 67-72 chevy's right? Like I can't find one anywhere and I didn't know if they all were custom home built or what...if anyone has one for sale or would be willing to trade it let me know

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Only way to get one is to build it. They did make crew cabs, 3 door and NOTHING like what Rokcrln and Extd56 have done.
I think if somebody started making these, they would sell tons, I would buy one. I dont know if this one is still for sale, and whatever the asking price is its worth every penny.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Their were some built by coach companys but not alot and the ones that were don't look right to me. This one was built out of a 3 door burb with alot of extra work to get a working 4th door and a factory look to the truck.

That one is a 3 Door, but I'm sure ROK could make it a 4 door if you paid him enough. Here's a link to mine. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=226302 It is actually a 67 cab that was cut in half and stretched 33 inches. The stretch part was hand fabricated. They're all for sale for the right price, . I think they are asking $45K for the Gold one.

I am always amazed to see anyone do anything really well. Bodywork scares me. It looks fantastic. Keep up the great work.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Well I have decided to get rid of the 350/350 and 205 transfer case and go to a 454 with a 4l80e and a 241 transfer case. I think I can thank my friends for this as they like to see me spend money and have been trying to get me to use this combo for about a year. I hope this combo will fit without too much fuss but I am sure it will include using a welder to help make it fit.
I will be using a 1991 454 with the TBI and the 4l80E out of a 1991 Suburban. I had this combo for sale but now I will be using it as no one wanted to buy it, can't blame them with the price of gas. |

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
I have installed a 32 gallon Blazer tank in the rear to help feed the beast, I wonder if my mileage will be in the double digits.
