Looksto be to cabs joined together

Actually, I believe this was done from the factory and the interesting thing is that to save money, they just used 4 front doors. All 4 doors have a lock cylinder!

71swb4x4 · 02-23-2010, 02:38 PM

It wasn't done from the GM factory. A company called Scot-Bilt (or something like that) built these as a conversion. A lot of these went to logging and railroad companies.

I'm close by if anyone wants me to take a closer look at it. Just PM me

Seraph · 02-23-2010, 03:06 PM

here you go.

oats84 · 02-23-2010, 06:49 PM

Learn something every day thanks for the info

MESS-HALL · 02-23-2010, 06:51 PM

Surely that has sold already...............

Damien · 02-23-2010, 07:09 PM

There is a pretty good chance it hasn't. It was posted last friday and if it is still outside it probably has 3 ft of snow around it.

MESS-HALL · 02-23-2010, 07:18 PM

And that ad said it came with all four doors correct? I think that is an incredible deal for someone closer than I......

67Mach1 · 02-23-2010, 07:43 PM

I found a 69/70 version of one of thes just yesterday. See my post.

It would be an amazing deal with the one I found. I need to see if he will take the lowball offer.

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-23-2010, 07:53 PM

Here's some idea's what to do with that bad boy

**Dan in Pasadena** · 02-23-2010, 09:02 PM

I'm sure this originally came on a lengthened '68-72 frame but apart from duplicating that now, what would be the easiest/logical frame to put it on now width-wise? Length would be determined by whether you wanted a long or short bed but I'd think width soul be the critical consideration. I'm think the frame off a '73-87 crewcab, Dually (or not) would be close(?) are the '88 & newer radically different?

Those car hauler pics are great. Check out the cracked up 911 in the background.

That really is not a huge investment for an incredible build.

$1000.00 for the crew/cab and good doors.
$3500.00 maybe less for the rust bucket (no offense).

Less than 5k for a SOLID start on a rare commodity build.

No offence taken. It is a rust bucket.

teeitup · 02-23-2010, 10:27 PM

I'd love to build one with a short bed

That would be sweet. Location and Location and Location. Oh and $...

I will say this. If I cant get it and someone here does I have a place to store it even long term if we can figure out how to move it. I dont think my little F150 could tow it.

teeitup · 02-23-2010, 10:43 PM

I know you found that down your way and now this one up north, I'm caught in the middle, lol

That would make a sweet truck and that's less than I paid for my Crew when I bought it....

MESS-HALL · 02-24-2010, 08:49 AM

You might have paid more.......but you got a damn nice start with the donkey. Body is pretty straight, it seems to me that whatever extra you paid was WELL worth it.

50MOTORHEAD · 02-24-2010, 03:24 PM

hart rod Your's is a WAY better lookin cab. The lack of those humongus "filler panels" between the doors is much nicer.I don't like the scot-bilt cabs. They look to 'home made' but the cab on yours is nice.-KB

I agree 100% that is the biggest issue I have right now is that panel... You should also see one up close the roof has waves in it. They made no effort to make the top have flowing lines. I have a suburban i could use to fix the rust and put a smooth top on the white one but then I'd hvae to deal wiht those panels.

I've still not called him back and made an offer partially because I think i'm affraid he would take it.

They are unique but I'm not sure I want to buy one then have to put all that work into it. Pay now or PAY later i guess. All depends on how bad youwant an extended cab truck.

It has it's issues, but overall it's a great start.

Thanks. I've got a set of suburban doors that I'm going to install to eliminate what little triangle mine has. That's how they should have done it in the first place, in my opinion,

Mine's got similar issues on the roof. I kept the entire roof off of a suburban that I parted to fix those issues. If it's something you've always wanted, I say GO FOR IT!! Good luck,
