Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Just spent 2hrs going through the build very nice job! Glad you kept the bed 8ft! Kevin your awesome! I only would change two things: hidden fuel door in tail light and some thing diff on the rear quater windows, but thats just my taste! Again awesome job and your other rides look pretty darn good too. On the milage you can easily get another 5-8mpg out of it by bumping up the compression and letting it breath by a good port and polish on the heads and a good set of headers. The power gains will be real nice too

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Wow, she looks great! I'm pretty sure that's the longest 67-72 I've ever seen
I'll bet your painter when through a lot of paint! Can't wait to see it 100% done!

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
That truck would not have looked that bad if the had put the sleeper on the other way. The big window needs to be by the doors the the quarter windows are angled the wrong way! See too much beer and fabricating do not mix

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
It almost looks like they used an extended cab behind the original crew cab and then another crew cab at the back. But you're right, they got the ext cab portion on backwards. And the top of it doesn't look so nice.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Their were some coach built trucks that had two cabs joined but they looked bad using all front doors. Chevy never built any in the 67-72 style but since then others have. This one started out as a 3 door Suburban that was shortened using a truck cab for parts then I did the 4th door conversion during the rust replacement. You will find a few others here on the board but this is by far the cleanest one I have seen so far.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
I may have missed it reading through the thread, but what was the name of the rust preventative stuff, and did it end up working out well?
