Nicely done 72 K20 "Crew Cab" on Evilbay - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

roger0080 · 04-19-2006, 12:21 AM

I thought they did a nice job. The "crew" part is from a cut suburban. Way better than cutting and extending a regular cab IMHO.

Personally I'm not much for mod'd trucks, but this one ain't bad .....

Thats awesome

cheyenne10 · 04-19-2006, 01:00 AM

They build them bad in OR. I guy was building a very similar truck in same area a few yrs ago. I'm not sure if it is same truck and same owner. Some of the style of this truck does not fit what I remember the owner was headed for. If I remember he was in R&D/owner in Camper and RV business which is big time out west. He actually was a board member back when.

I cant find the actual article though, so I cant find any better pics...I remember drooling on the pages while sittin on the throne!!!

vtblazer · 04-19-2006, 07:14 AM

Very cool!

Now I know what to do with my burb that's rusted out in the rear.

I'm likin' this rig. Current bid $9301? Took alot of man hours to put this together.

bouncytruck · 04-19-2006, 11:38 AM

That is so very nice!

jimmydean · 04-19-2006, 11:49 AM

I like it. Way too much truck for my needs, but I keep playing with the idea of doing an extra cab with smaller doors like the newer trucks. I have done a few crappy photoshops, and it's a tempting concept.

rauto13 · 04-19-2006, 11:57 AM

sweet truck!!

92306HO5 · 04-19-2006, 12:50 PM

It only looks like a 4 door, the door handle doesn't do anything

This is from the aution description:
"The truck looks like the left rear door opens, But it is still a 3 door . "

I still absolutely love it. I'd even consider selling my Z71 to buy that sucker......

Rokcrln · 04-19-2006, 10:21 PM

Nice A$$ truck! I looked at it a few days ago but never read what it had to say. I just thought it was a four door but after reading about it it turns out to only appear to be a four door but it is not. They sure went to alot of work for looks. It even looks like they put in a door jamb gap for the rear door edge! I am not to fond of the roof line but I would clean out a spot in my shop in a heart beat.

That truck was sold on e-bay back in 99 too, it has gotten a lift and the wheel/tire combo is new too.

What would you change about it? And how could it be changed? (just curious)

A burb was used to make the truck and a burb roofline is an inch or two? or so higher than a pick-ups roofline. If the trucks roofline were to look "correct" for a truck it would need to lowered some. It's something you don't notice at first, but the burb/truck conversions that had the roofline redone properly look really slick

(I still love this truck though

)

I guess they didn't have your abilities to make it work

jimmydean · 04-20-2006, 12:12 PM

I sort of noticed the roof line, but it didn't stick out that much until I looked that the Calssic Trucks article. Now I notice it a lot. I still like it, but your right about the roof line.

I need to redo a photochop of my truck with rear doors. I was thinking of a much smaller rear door though, like maybe a foot shorter and then trim the bed to fit the long bed frame.

Timmerduder · 04-20-2006, 04:53 PM

There was a different one a couple years back that the guy actually blended the interior from new and old. It had the intrument cluster from a new truck and the glove box from the 72. All 4 doors worked as well and I think it had a Vette motor or drivetrain too.

I believe your talking about the one Sean from Ricks built for a customer.

Links to their site are banned but if you go to the customer's trucks section on their web site, they have pictures.
