what is the ser# timbuk, they could have been sisters out of the same order. I have to go back and chk this ones ser # as I took a pic of it and a few of the nbrs are fuzzy. it is close to 4k1534189114
in regards to the paint. maybe they had the same painters that were in Okalla(sp? forget). they used to make the lic plates at okalla (provincal jail-up to 2 yrs) and the paint always use to peel off and we accredited that to them peeing in the paint

that is the identical truck. was it green originally?

Hey everyone,
I am a newbie here. Thanks for posting all the great pics of the Ext. Cabs and Crews. I been thinking about doing that to my 66 Chev for awhile now. Mainly want to do it so me and the family can cruise.

Me personally, I am liking the idea of the "Non Knee banger" door with the Suicide rear door.

later,
Tazfink

Actually I don't know what year the cab is between 64-66 since it didn't come with documentation or a vin# I just call it a 66 since I put the hood and doors from my old 66 GMC on it! Oh, and its got the single hump dash, didn't the Chevs have a hump on both sides? ..Or was that just for 60-63?? (my 60 Apache had the double hump dash)

Did GM make any Crew Cab iin 60 to 66 our are they custom coverions

padresag · 07-22-2011, 01:26 PM

GM never made them, but were farmed to coach builders as they were termed on orders.
they were all built with factory supplied parts. most doors were modified at the coach builders to suit their application I guess as there were quite a variance in them

I am pretty sure I posted some other pics of it in one of the crew cab threads on here...

**Clyde65** · 09-06-2011, 12:53 PM

The owner built it using two cabs, very custom and very nice, it was in several magazines IIRC, what do you want to know, I dont think the owner is a member here though.

Vic45 · 09-06-2011, 01:43 PM

this is what i want to build and i was wondering if you would know where i could see more pictures of it?

**Clyde65** · 09-06-2011, 02:01 PM

Truely you would be better off buying a crew and building it, unfortunately I dont know where to find more info.

Vic45 · 09-06-2011, 02:21 PM

thanks for the info Clyde65. thats the same thing that everyone tells me but i want the challenge well see how it comes out. i already bought the other cab now its just a matter of tearing down before i start welding stuff together. when it is done it should look just like that. except it will be on a 3/4 ton frame.

**Captainfab** · 09-07-2011, 12:51 AM

In my opinion, you would be better off starting with a Suburban or Panel. That is what I would do after having seen all the issues those that have started to build a crewcab from 2 cabs, have had.

Vic45, here is some inspiration...

Vic45 · 09-07-2011, 02:28 PM

thats a nice looking truck Clyde65. i like the custom back window it looks sic

Captianfab
i have been told to start off with a panel. but i think the only thing i will need from a panel would be the floor and the roof skin. but im going to try building it with the 2 cabs then either buy a panel roof skin or creating it from sheet metal. the floor will be also created using sheet metal.

i will keep a look out to see if i can find anymore pics form that truck on here.

Vic45, that is my dad's crew, the cab was originally a wrecker, sold, repoed and sold again within 100 miles of where it calls home.
