I have never seen any that were not fabricated . A couple of nice ones have been posted on the site here with their build threads. Good luck!!

There used to be a member years and years ago that had a Green Forest service truck that was the size of a crew cab but only had 2 doors I believe. I think he went by the name of Alaskan4x4 but don't quote me on that. Trevor

Well, I was close, it was AlaskanMan: here is a link to his forestry truck.

Otherwise, look at member Ext56 for project penicillion or Hart Rod's crew cab that maybe was a original GM crew cab. Trevor

thanks alot.

There were a couple of companies that made crew cabs out of these. The most common (if you can say any are common) ones had all four doors made from front doors, like they took two cabs, cut off the firewall of one, and the back off the other, welded them together and then filled in the holes. Mostly a railroad thing, but other places ordered them.

There are some variations though. Many people will take a 'burb and cut it down to make a cab. These look more 'normal', but I hate seeing a 'burb meet a torch...

weasel68 · 02-08-2010, 11:26 AM

does anyone know where there any pics of these so i can get a better look on building one. thanks

Member "Rockc" Has a build thread on one. Member Frizzle Fry has a build thread of a 4 door/ shortened Tahoe build.

Frizzle Fry,

I knew he had your board name right that's why I didn't comment on it. He just had Rokcrln's wrong...

.. I had to look his up to make sure I had the spelling correct so I just posted the link. Sorry I didn't give you proper credit also.

No worries LockDoc. My 4th door is only 1/2 done anyway. So technically I have a 3.5 door at the moment

Longhorn Man · 02-10-2010, 05:37 PM
