Craigslist Find: 1968 crew cab

[lineybiker_11]

Hey guys i'm new here just gettin into the trucks scene but look what i found....I'm gonna call on it tomorrow and see what he wants for it!!!http://flint.craigslist.org/cto/1222845337.htmlTell me what ya think and how much you'd pay for it!!!!!!

[Rippin-J]

Sweet. That'd be a pretty radical ride. Let us know how it goes should you decide to jump at it.

[OARNGESI]

Really nice project could be really cool good luck

[stllookn]

Welcome to the board. That is the way a crew should look. Check out the welds and frame extension though.

[Longhorn Man]

since you ae new here, you gotta know, that truck is a custom. Real crew cabs didlt look nearly that good. The cab on that truck is a cut down suburban.

[special-K]

WELCOME!!!!!

I love that truck!!!

It`s all custom,as mentioned,and quality of work is the difference between "grab it quick" and "run and don`t look back".The frame will be grafted or stretched and the cab consists of a Suburban body cut behind the 3rd door,truck cab back,and top made of a couple truck cabs.
It`s unique,making a price pretty variable and quality of work is a major factor.I`d want to know the mechanical condition of the drivetrain and completeness of the vehicle since it`s a project.Just realize it`s only the beginning.You found one heck of a first truck.

Find out the price,condition,and completeness.Get back with us and we`ll give an evaluation.

I like that truck!

[PanelDeland]

That a cool looking crew cab.That said it's a lot of project for a beginer.I have no idea how skilled you are and like the others said it may have been well done or it may be just a cobbled together mess.Either can be a deal but there's gonna be some $$$$ spent to get it running and road legal.

I have dreams of building one like this someday, let us know of any details you find out about it...............

Thanks, Rick

Yeah, I would love to have it for I am wanting to build a K30 72' Cheyenne Super CC swb fleetside one of these days as a hauling machine.

[STOCKISH]

If that was any where near my house it would be in my driveway. Of course I would be sleeping in it too.

[Hart_Rod]

Cool find. I echo all the above sentiments. I bought one 3 year ago and the only thing I ended up using from the original truck was the cab and the rear doors.....

I can agree with you, I have been down this road many times and it can be very hard to get a project done but when it is custom work to be done that is when the money starts to flow unless you can do most of the work. That beign said it looks like a good beginning but if I brought that home I too would be sleeping in it.

[lineybiker_11]

so i just got off the phone with the guy that owns it and he told me the frame, axles, suspension, cab, doors, and front clip are all good.....the bed has some bad rust spots.....no motor or drive shafts and he dosent know if the trans and transfer case are any good but he said it was a 3 speed rockwell trans and 2 speed rockwell transfer case but i've never heard of it (i've only heard of the axles) or am i sure that they were avalible in these truck.....he also said he bought it in 01 for 4200 and would like to get half if he could......what do ya think?????

[HuggerCST]

If it's as good as he says, I'd buy it.

[extd56]

If i was allowed another project I would be gassing up the truck and loading up the car trailer.

[tim21391]

your brave putting that on here if ur lookin to get that for yourself other ppl might already be on that haha

[BADSAM]

I'm cheap, so It seem a little high, but only a little. And if the work that was done is pretty good, it might just be a steal.

Go for it!

[ksjh1316]

Hurry up and buy it before I get any more ideas LOL

I have paint left over from my restoration perfect GMC front clip and SWB bed 383 stoker and th350. Just a few bolts and the change would be complete as mine doen't have wiring or interior done yet.

Please tell me its at your house stop the ideas that are going to get me divorced

[BigMikeBB]

You have two days and I'm going to pick it up. Just kidding. Nice looking truck. I want to build one, but make it a four door.

[mr48chev]

Put in the group who's glad it's too far away or i'd be trying to beat you out of it.

It would make a great 4x4 but it would also convert to a dropped dualie without dramatic issues. The rockwell axles would probably sell for most of what you paid for the truck to a local 4x4 guy.

Now you are going to have half of us hunting burbs with bad back doors to build crewcabs out of.

That truck looks to have great lines and a lot of thought in the conversion but I would really check the welds on the chassis close.

[toomanytoyz]

Has anyone checked this out Yet? Truck is Only a Couple hundred miles away from me so it is Very Tempting.............

Thanks, Rick

[kev2809]

I say get it. check the frame and cab work..if its strong then get it. bed doesn't matter and neither does the motor. it would cost more than the price of the truck for someone to make another crew cab like that. nice find. I would have it laying on the ground though

[toomanytoyz]

Waiting for Pics before i go to Look at it.............

Rick

[va_tlc]

anyone go look at this yet?
