Re: 67-72 Chev Crewcab Build
That is still the best looking stretch/EC I've ever seen on one of these. Beside it being a badass truck.

Re: 67-72 Chev Crewcab Build
I live in Yakima, WA. Have you thought about making camper shells from the old Suburban back halfs? I would love my truck to have a nice bed cover for the winter to keep my tools dry. I really don't like the few fiberglass ones i have found as i think they ruin the aesthetic of these beautiful old trucks.
Oh, and I just bought my first Old Chevy a few weeks ago. I am really excited to see a shop like yours within a reasonable drive from here. '71 Cheyenne 20, 4x4, Tilt, Custom Cab, Dealer One ton Springs, Uncut Dash, A/C Cab....only thing its missing is a Tach. I also can't find anyone i trust here to fix the couple places this truck has rust. I would say its easily 95% rust free. Can i take pics of the spots and mail them to you for a rough quote? Keep up the Epic work!!! Last edited by ChevyChaser; 02-24-2014 at 02:31 PM. Reason: misspelling |

Re: 67-72 Chev Crewcab Build

Re: 67-72 Chev Crewcab Build
Some of the Trucks that are currently under construction at rtech fabrications. I will sometime soon start build threads for the different projects but for now you can see what is in the works.

Re: 67-72 Chev Crewcab Build
On our way back from picking up our new swap meet trailer. And of course we had to stop and make our contribution.

Re: 67-72 Chev Crewcab Build
Hey Randall, I took a look at the crew cab yesterday in Puyallup...INCREDIBLE! One of the most classy "restored" trucks that is still functional and works hard I have seen. Ma General missed the boat by not building that thing as you have.

Re: 67-72 Chev Crewcab Build
Had the crew cab (Cowboy) and the K50 (Drill Sergeant) in a car show over the weekend. Thought the crew cab was a good sized until I parked them next to each other but Drill Sergeant received a People's Choice Award so no complaints

Re: 67-72 Chev Crewcab Build
Congratulations on the award. Truck looks great. Question. Is that a factory color on the main body? I ask cause I am building a 68 right now that I color matched the interior to the main body and it looks very similar to yours.

Re: 67-72 Chev Crewcab Build
Sorry, I was actually talking about your truck "The Drill Sergeant". I am painting my 68 1 ton Dually Short Bed Step Side a similar light tan color which color matches the original color it came from the General with. Looks similar to yours.

Re: 67-72 Chev Crewcab Build
I wish I could afford this conversion. I would much rather have a crew cab 4 door than my suburban. lol
Can you stretch it a little bit longer like a mega cab? I'd like extra storage especially since I don't need the fuel tank I would run under the bed large tanks Chris

We are making such a beast right now. A customer is having us add 6" to the cab with a shorten bed. Has everything to do with the doors. We call it "The Texas Longhorn" version.
