How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

[mr.chevyblack]

no it was in venta oregon just needed a starter no rust at all that the main reason i got it

[texasag91]

Well not good news for my new crew cab. Was driving to another town today and the water pump cracked on one side. The fan was vibrating so bad that one blade came off and went through the fan shroud and hitting the hood. Hood has a dent now. Got towed home. Stripped all the parts off. Had to order almost everything that I needed. Be here tomorrow. Put my girl back together. I am assuming that will be the only problem.

The life of driving an old truck. No worries.

That sucks! I had water puking from my overflow the other day. The tired 454 in the ol' girl didn't like towing my dads big rig semi truck after he snapped a u-joint. It was a 10 mile tow but it was heavy, lol. I'm going to swap the powerplant someday but cant decide between a 12V cummins or 8.1 Vortec. I'm leaning towards Vortec so I can keep it "Chevy" under the hood and have less modifications. My plan is to also stab a 5-speed in it

I got a set of simulators for dirt cheap - looks 100 times better than the old crusty, rusty steel wheels!

Someone needs to rescue that truck. Has alot of potential if it isnt full of rust.

1985 Chevy Crew Cab Dually that has been stretched into a limousine.

The story goes that a dozen or so of these trucks were built in the mid 80's for the first National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. After that this truck was supposed to have been owned by somebody famous (I don't have a clue who anymore, a title search might turn it up), it was used to pull race car trailers for a while (in a spot or two you can still see the fluorescent green paint), moved around some more, and then I bought it in 2001. I had grand plans of fixing it, and got no farther than getting the windows tinted, with limo tint of course. I had planned on putting a 6" lift and 35's on it, I still would if I had the time.

The vinyl top needs fixed. I have collected all of the sheet metal that is necessary to completely replace the top with metal, I have a suburban top and a crew cab top, which should make enough sheet metal with the correct factory bends. Each of these tops extends down below the window-bottom line. I also have enough extra doors that the middle limo windows can be shaped from factory metal. Once the metal work is done, everything will have factory lines and bends.

The engine was a 454. It has a spun rod bearing. It has tri-y headers, (Doug Thorly I think). Turbo400 automatic transmission, NP205 transfer case. I have a 2001 8.1L, 496/502 with 4L80E automatic transmission that is available separately. If it makes or breaks the deal, I'll find a 454 to put in the pickup so you have a running vehicle.

The interior is ok, it is gray leather, with various corian pieces. It needs some TLC.

I have two replacement dually fenders that go with the truck.

As you can see from the pictures, I switched from the original 1985 grill to a 90's style grill.


Let me know if you want to come see it, Paul show contact info (phone, text, email are all fine). I do need to sell it, so make me an offer. What's the worst that happens, we end up with a deal?

Most I've ever liked the '80 frontend.

My junk today

[texasag91]

Since have you guys on here that like the 1 ton Crew cabs I need a little help. I have a 1990 GMC Sierra V3500 crew cab 4x4. Does anyone know what the front fender emblems look like and where I can find them? Pictures if you got them.

LMC and Classic Industries don't have them.

[duramaxing]

no fender emblems that year

[texasag91]

Thanks. I just found that out. I guess the fender on the passenger side was from another older truck. Still has two holes in it.

My '88 that I bought from original owner who lived in Las Vegas and kept the truck garaged its entire life. Before he sold it to me he wanted to make sure I was going to do the same.

Hey guys, love this thread n hope it never dies..
So I made the old crew cab community proud this weekend, took 1st place at the Scheid Diesel Extravaganza Saturday against 70+ amazing high dollar trucks and scored a feature in Diesel Army and Diesel World Magazine! Feels good the old girl can still compete against the big fancy new trucks : )
