Excited to see where this one goes. Nice starting point.

**71blksuper4x4** · 05-07-2014, 09:00 PM

Any updates? Trevor

Big J'72 GMC · 05-07-2014, 09:51 PM

Looks awesome

chase2 · 05-09-2014, 08:23 AM

No not really got a frame started I need to find time to get back on it Work and Family are taking a lot of it right now. I hope to get on it again in the next couple months.

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-30-2014, 08:00 PM

Very cool project! I remember seeing the CL ad and the price scared me. I wish there were more floating around. It'd save a guy a lot of work for sure.

This is the first time I've seen this thread and I want to see more! Any updates??

chase2 · 01-23-2018, 10:22 PM

It's been a long time but I'm starting back on the truck. Stated cutting out the rust.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-23-2018, 11:28 PM

I'm glad to see you back on it! I really prefer this coach built style compared to the 2 cabs butted together.

jeffg1010 · 01-24-2018, 12:49 AM

Glad to see it's still coming along. Im still tuned in.

**3757chevy** · 01-24-2018, 01:14 AM

Just saw this, I like the doors that are on it, makes it unique. imo

swamp rat · 01-24-2018, 09:43 AM

Have ya thought about bracing the cab with some square stock to keep it all in place while cutting out the material? That's a whole lotta space between the front and back of the cab.

winslowgoodwin · 01-24-2018, 10:10 AM

glad to see this one up again!

6600DURAMAX · 03-07-2018, 05:20 PM

Heck yeah! I'd probably clean it up, get the mechanicals done and drive that baby!

chase2 · 08-07-2018, 09:42 PM

Well I first seen it 20 years ago when I started dating a girl in high school. I tried all thru school to buy it. After dating for ten years we married. I have tried about every year to buy it and this weekend I got the call to just come get it. It has set for four years under a bunch of trees so it is starting to show its age. My father in law bought it in 84. It has had some body work done not the best but doesn’t look to bad.

I got it running tonight still have to clean the fuel tank out and put it back in. Then going to just drive it for a while. The top needs a lot of work so I may try and fix it or just find a nothing one.

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-07-2018, 10:13 PM

Pretty cool story and nice to hear you finally own it!

**Getter-Done** · 08-07-2018, 10:34 PM

Persistence pays off. Looks good.
Looking thru your Crew cab Build .
I like your brace you made for front door.
