That was kind of my plan, except in almost 3 years of owning a TBI dually I figured out a 6.0 LSx swap is, dollar for dollar, a better idea.

If I could find a project truck that's already bagged and not too scarily engineered for the right money I might still be in the market.

Your bonus cab is where it usually says 3+3. Does anybody know what the camper special emblem says underneath? I can make out gvw, but not the number.

DetroitDan · 11-11-2010, 12:50 PM

motornut, I'm sorry for your loss. Look on the bright side, all that stuff will unbolt and the parts are cheap. She'll live to fight another day. If the cowls pushed in, so what pull it back out, no one will see it under a new fender.

DetroitDan · 11-11-2010, 12:55 PM

Ericjon, that is an awesome looking Suburban! Love the color combination, hardly ever see that.
Shame about the door. Might want to talk to motornut, he might have a suspect.

I've never seen another brown white brown two tone, I've seen tons of them with tan instead of white though. we know who's at fault, and there insurance provided us with a rental truck for the time being(dodge

) but we really just want The Beast back.

Motornut, I'd be asking the cops if they'd turn around for a minute or two while I whoop some drunks ass.

justpball · 11-11-2010, 03:39 PM

here is a piece of my crewcab... could be from any truck though, but i pinky swear it is for the crew.

joe231 · 11-11-2010, 03:52 PM

You are right about the crew part.....
But that fell off of my crew, thanks for picking it up for me.

I believe it says, "10,000 GVW".

3+3 is what it normally says, "Bonus Cab" is the emblem installed if the truck did not originally have a rear seat.

The Camper Special emblem came with different weight ratings, mine says 10,000 but I have seen smaller ratings. The trim on the cab normally has the Chevy bowtie or the GMC, but there is a tee pee instead if it is a Camper Special.

63chevyll · 11-11-2010, 08:14 PM

yeah i have seen 8800 also

what would the point of having a king cab and no rear seat?i could see this if it was a EXT cab and called a "bonus cab" and had no rear seat... Just curiosity is all

pig rig · 11-12-2010, 09:36 AM

the Idea was to have a place for a contractor to pile tools or for someone to just have more cargo room.
you got to remember these truck were being sold in the days when you could still order the trucks built the way you wanted ie; color, a/c, no other creacher comforts, and that back seat was an option that could put you over your budget

and whats up with all the damn suburbans in the crew cab thread?

D.FENS · 11-12-2010, 09:51 AM

This is what I mean by ugly 70's two-tone paint. I love 'em. Would like to see more of this truck if anybody knows the guy. Pittsburgh local from what I can figure out.

X2.......lovin that! I am planning on doing the Limerock green on mine when the time comes....but that one is just sexy!

DetroitDan · 11-12-2010, 12:25 PM

Me too! That green and white truck is beautiful!!

My truck is not a bonus cab, however the guy took the rear seat out of storage and put it back in before he sold it to me. It was out forever, just for that reason to fit stuff back there. So now I have a crewcab with a brand new rear seat and a recently recovered front seat. Too bad the front seat is the old style that stops a foot from the door. It's coming out.

63chevyll · 11-12-2010, 12:56 PM

that green truck is so sweet.

The funny thing is

There was a time where that truck could have been crushed and people hated green

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-12-2010, 01:35 PM

I like that green one too! It's pretty sweet in my eyes!

Davidmichael · 11-12-2010, 01:54 PM

The owner posted a few pics on duallyscene. If he's doing a build thread I haven't found it yet.
