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!!!

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.

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

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.

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

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.
