Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up! - Page 16 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

extd56 · 02-14-2007, 12:29 PM

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.

**Hart_Rod** · 02-14-2007, 12:38 PM

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!!

Thanks, Rick

The project is on hold while I get my 38 Chrysler done and get some family stuff done.

semperfidoordie · 09-01-2007, 11:16 AM

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

classicchev · 09-01-2007, 12:10 PM

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.

Rokcrln · 09-01-2007, 12:11 PM

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.

gumps10 · 10-29-2007, 09:52 AM

It never ceases to amaze me at what people can do.

Great work so far guy's.
Any more proggress??

extd56 · 11-13-2007, 07:08 PM

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.

chris@bigjranch.com · 11-13-2007, 07:53 PM

I've been waiting to see something hapen with this thread. Great to know the project is still alive!!!

Thank your friends for me, A 4 door crew deserves the 454 with the TBI and the 4l80E .

extd56 · 11-13-2007, 10:08 PM

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.

I think you were right, my grandson will need a job when I get done with the truck. I think finding a high paying job for a 3 year old might be tough.

LOW DOUGH · 11-16-2007, 05:43 PM

that truck is so cool. I wasted about 2 hours here at the work place reading this. SO SO VERY COOL

extd56 · 02-03-2008, 10:13 AM

Put on a different bed that I got from a truck that I bought, i guess it will be a parts truck now.
