I've been thinking about this, I just refuse to break the smooth lines of these trucks with an ugly exposed hinge.

I was just joking around, that really sucks you had to give your cab away! Would you mind showint the photoshop pictures?

[70 Suburban]

sure man Ill look them up.. they are on an old cd or a 3.5...

[70 Suburban]

not mine but it was a good pic to chop.. I used ms paint on this one. I was in a hurry. but this is what it will look like

[63sbssbbw]

Very sweet looking,IMO that's the way it should look.
Would be really cool if the rear part opened like a quad cab

[70 Suburban]

thats the plan. thats why I didnt chop out the lines of the rear door

That's Look's Good Enough to Have Been a Regular Production Item, Nice Job on The Chop...............

Check this out, this guy used the everything except the body from a newer truck to make it happen.

Black one is a '63 cab onto a '94 frame and firewall.

Some B pillar shots:

[OldCreek]

I much prefer the 60-63 knee knocker windshields in this era truck and especially in these crewcabs. ( I also love the 60 and 61 pod hoods!)

[PrerunnerRob]

Love all the pictures, you guys are making this too easy! The only thing I can't do is the exposed hinges, I don't care how long it takes, I'll figure out a way to make them disappear! Maybe have found a way already...but that's for another post!

[OldCreek]

yeah, get some burb hinges like Kevin did on Project Penicillin.

[OldCreek]

oh yeah, that 63 was melded with a 60 I believe. Not only did he keep the 94 firewall but he also kept the 94 floor so all the mounts/seats kept their spots.
I've a lot more pics, in and out, of that blue 61 but they're not the best. I tried to get pics of where the original frame was cut and lengthened as welll as the B pillar area. Too much rusted on that 61!

[70 Suburban]

hmmm thats a good idea I think i will use the floor out of my 98 that will look more seamless i think

[70 Suburban]

ok now Im think about cuttin a foot of the bed and making it a little shorter.. or adding just a over say 30-35 in instead of the 25 that I was goin to add. and weldin the bed to the cab...kinda like a avalanche

if your looking for more pic's as a kid i remember my grandfather as a park ranger and he used one to haul us around when we visited him. i also remember when we used to visit my cousins grandfather and used to pick him up at various spots along the way and remember it driving up. hit some of the old railroad sites and national park sites.

[Chevysdominate]

I was checking out Craigslist and ran across this one. Not a true crew cab, but it looks nice. I really wouldn't mind having it to haul stuff.
