Robert.....did you find out anything on the roof section?????? Just wondering, Thanks, Jerry

jonzcustomshop · 01-22-2008, 10:30 PM

I think flat roof all the way to the back. more asthetically pleasing.
I have a spare truck roof, but you could probably get a whole truck for what the shipping would cost.

I found a pic of a rough one. :

Great progress.

Rokcrln · 01-23-2008, 12:15 AM

What I find really interesting is that the old style's keep comming back around. Look at the above add for the 4dr super short bed truck. Finaly chevy built one a few years ago to compete with all the ford explorer and toyota trucks that have come out with 5'+ beds. I think they look great with shorter beds on them but chevy forgot they have been doing this for 40+ yrs and all these young kids think it is a new invention

We have not decided on what year it will be (wife wants the 67-72) yet but we will be building a C50/60 into a 4dr short fleet bed for a tow rig/ family hauler with 10lug rims, duely and a diesel to boot. I think a 2ton dropped with side tanks (covered) and custom duelly fenders on the fleet side towing a 5th wheel trailer or my 70 2WD show Blazer (when I finish it) to the shows. I guess it depends what I find first or I might just build the cab and find a new salvaged 2ton chassie and build off that!

That thing is nice.....being a long-bed with that long trim looks awesome !!!

Woogeroo · 01-23-2008, 08:57 PM

I've pondered what a '64-'66 cab upfront would look like with a '60-'63 cab in the back... because of the way the doors lean forward on the '60-'63... I've thought it'd look snazzy since the '64-'66 doors the back of the door angles in toward the front like.

If that makes any sense...

Anyway, this looks like an interesting project to follow.

good luck,

-W

cool deal,looking forward to seeing the pics

Original plans were to angle all of the pillars to match the front windshield pillar, but that is not going to happen. All the pillars are now going to be angled the same as the rear door closing edge, except fot the windshield pillar. The reason that there is an external filler between the two doors originally is to allow for the curved radius of the edge of the front door by the door handle and then following the angled door edge up to the roof. I'm now going to have to have the leading edge of the rear door follow the rounded edge by the door handle of the trailing edge of the front door. After that is done, I'm going to have to reangle the rear door edge forward to match the front door. AHHHHHH!

Geeez... Probably sounds more complicated than it is. I'd like to see this too.

X2....sounds like you have it figured out though. I can't wait to see how it looks. It's bound to be a lot better than the original design.
