Re: 68 Four door build
Very nice project! Is that a 39/40 Ford I spy under the cover in the background?

Re: 68 Four door build
Judging by the work you do this should be a very Cool build. I would love to see a pic of the spid label on that old burb.

Re: 68 Four door build
Hey I have the brother to your rig I think
![]() Thanks for the heads up about this thread. I might be interested in some of the bits and I am always looking for a reason to get over to your area from Phx. I will pm about what you won't need and maybe we can work something out. Oh and my 13yr old son is serious interested in how you will end up with a 4dr. |

Re: 68 Four door build
Has any one seen the 71 short bed running around out here in California with corvette front and Rear suspension , big block with a pro charger on it? Well that was one of my projects I built and had to sell because of the money thing, I will try to find some pictures of it. It was crazy fast and handled very well. I made it out of a one owner 30 k mile old man camper truck.

Re: 68 Four door build
I kinda think its too cool in its present condition to cut up too, i would think that for the parts you need a non running (non 4by) beater would work just as well. Too many folks dig the 4x4 as it is.
but hey, you gotta do what u gotta do. I've often pondered the crew cab idea too but i'm decent at designing stuff but i don't weld. Good luck with your project, i'm guessing that you will take the 'burb under the knife.... Tim

Re: 68 Four door build
Just curious,... wouldn't it be easier to build a 4-door crew cab out of 2 truck cabs.
(using burb doors up front) Then it would have the correct roof profile.

Re: 68 Four door build
OK, I'm curious, I have allways been under the impression that Chevy didn't build a 1 ton 4x4 in 67-72. Is this really a 3/4 ton with hub spacers and dually wheels or were some built by a contractor like the NAPCO trucks? Also that Longhorn looks very rust free, I may be interested in the bed, I'm in northern AZ. I can't bare thinking of that Longhorn being torn apart, I think I'm gonna be sick.

Re: 68 Four door build
the burb is a 3/4 ton with a dually setup. I bought the truck from Tom and dont need the bed or front clip. I am building a 65 C20 and needed a better chassis with disc brakes and good motor and trans. PM me if you are interested in buying any parts

Re: 68 Four door build
From what I've seen done on this board and the thoughts I've had about this, the building a crew out of 2 truck cabs will be a lot more work. The roof still needs reworked and it'd take 3 truck roof skins to do it due to the curvature in them. Plus building all the structure and everything else. There's a lot that goes in to it.
