60-66 crew cabs or extended cabs

[65crew]

This is my 65 crew cab I did 4 or 5 years ago, It's on a 2000 Chevy 1/2 ton. I used the floor pan and dash.That gives me the anti lock brakes,a good AC and etc.

Thats pretty cool! I'd like to see more. Did you make the box from a suburban? And is the rear wheel well opening from a front fender? And a front bumper on the back? Almost looks like a pushmepullyou! (Don't get me wrong, I like it) Judging by the roof line, you started with a suburban or panel truck?

Hello I remember meeting you about 5 years ago.I came to your house and talked with you about your truck, because I also want to build a crew cab. You use to have a cummins diesel in that 65 correct? I don't know if you remember me I was driving the black dodge pickup and we talked about using firewall and floor pans. That is so awesome that you actually made it work! Pm me your number again I'd love to come down and look and talk about your truck.

Hi, The truck was built using a Suburban roof section and the suburban rear fenders and tailgate. the suburban used the front bumper on the rear as did I.
the rear doors are fiberglass from molds I made from the front doors. I used rear fender patch panels to raise the rear openings. the frame,firewall,dash, floor pan,seats,carpet,5.3/46le are from the 2000 Chevy.

That is too cool, I bet it was a ton of work ! I see you have a fetish for crews!

[65crew]

not a fetish just think 4 doors are better with grand-kids. the 65 took about 2 months to build. the 67 a little over a month on the first build then I found I made the stretch about 6" short for my son in-law so I shortened the bed 6" and made the cab and doors 6" longer. That only took a week and a half. I retired 6 years ago so I have the time to have fun building the way l want.

[Mr Pops]

Thanks for the pics. I really like it!

[Dinos63]

Great job!! I dig it

Although I am a die hard 67-72 guy, the original crew cabs are much cleaner in this body style.

[awbrown]

the proportions on both look great ,always wonder how much leg room some of the original early conversions had...

I would love 2 find a nice crew cab for sale...anyone know of any. I just acquired a decent 65 GMC 305 v6 and it is a 4x4. Took it on trade for my 57 wagon. I love yours 65crew

[BadBoy59]

does anyone know where to find any cc's. i am seriously liking these and like 65 crew, I have grandkids and need a back seat and have a teenage daughter that is always having someone over for the day or weekend. I have a family van, but need and looking for a very good ba crew cab or possibly a suburban. On these cc's, does anyone know the dimensions for wheelbase dimensions, which later model 4x4 frames will slide under. Is anyone familiar with the 305 v6. the one i required has been sitting for couple years and after i got the bad gas out and no longer have to prime the carb to start, but it has no power. won't pull itself downhill, checked the points and dwell, plugs look good. Any help or advice would be apprecieated.

The Crews were mostly the same WB as a long bed truck, that is why most have the beds cut short in the front. If you can find a crew, any crew, your looking in the $5k+ range and then you have to restore/rebuild it. There was one on the Evilbay site for $69K a while back...very nice truck.

Here is my little extended cab, we should have her in primer in two weeks. Stuff is just tacked together right now, we ended up using two sets of doors and two cabs to make it.

If I was to do it, this is how I'd do it. Except, I would run the bumped up portion of the roof to the back of the door, like on a suburban.

If someone was to do this, if they had an extra roof, two extra doors, and a portion of the rear floor board, they should have everything they need to do an extended cab like this?
And if they only did a 12" extension, a short bed box would still fit on a long bed frame.
