Is that a rare truck?

lbc710 · 03-20-2010, 02:24 PM

not rare you make them yourself but cutting the frame a couple people here are currently doing or planning on doing their own

GmtGmt · 03-20-2010, 02:31 PM

its become quite popular to make crew cab short beds, i cant really see whats cool about them i like them long bigger is better

b454rat · 03-20-2010, 08:27 PM

The 2nd one isn't bad, but $7k for the 1st??? Truck wasn't that nice to warrant that price IMO. Maybe I should start building these after I get mine done if they are gonna bring those prices.....

ALL over priced for older butchered trucks, Keep a eye on them and see if ANY get a bid.....So far they aren't bringin nothing.

STOCKISH · 03-20-2010, 08:45 PM

Just because they are modified doesnt mean they are butchered. They will have their day where they bring a premium. Trust me. I think they're awesome. Wish I had one to park beside my 86 SWB.

Restrorob · 03-20-2010, 08:54 PM

Maybe using "butchered" was a little too strong, But I've seen quite a few butchered up "modified" frames/suspensions.....

ghettoluxury · 03-21-2010, 07:49 AM

On the 2nd one

Big Block

NP208

1/2 ton axles

$6,500 No way in He!!

grinch4om · 03-21-2010, 08:47 AM

I always wanted to put a crew cab on a regular long bed pickup and the bed be what ever size it would be....4wd one in this configuration would be very usefull for me!

*BGRAFX* · 03-21-2010, 08:49 AM

Thanks for posting those, I've been looking for one, but can build it for way less then $7k.

95 S_Trucker · 03-21-2010, 09:24 AM

looks like someone swapped the vinplate on the 78 or the used a lot of newer truck parts. it has the 208 shifter, the 80s frontend and gauges and dash, or the only thing 78 about the truck is the cab, and if its a 1 ton, why would they put half ton axles in it?

USSkoval · 03-21-2010, 09:43 AM

My guess would be that the black one started out as a stripped down parts truck, and they used what was available to put it back together.

Just a note, that '99 pictured is a factory crew cab/short bed. They were available in '99 and '00, and they were even available as a dually too!

Guys lets keep this conversatioin in a positive manner. Its fine to discuss, but do not bash the work. You never know if the owner might be a member.

I traded the blue short box for an 07 Raptor 700, still have the crew, still haven't done a thing to it since late November. I'm still getting pieces for it, and when I get the Jeep going for the wife (hey she wants it not me!!!) then I will bring it home and get going on it. I'm really jones'n to get it done, at least drivable under it's own power.

Matt Man · 03-22-2010, 01:47 AM

imho i cant stand shortbeds.... only look good on a regular cab truck. i love my 8 foot box..... but each to his own.

Agreed. RC/SBs are tolerable. Square body CC/SBs look like crap. Heck, I don't even like the new ones. I don't think 2500HD/3500HDs should be offered in a short bed really. Long bed or GTFO.

Now see, It's just the opposite for me. I can't stand regular cab short beds. They look out of proportion to me, to put it kindly. I've always been completely a long bed fan, but seeing guys build these CCSBs on here have convinced me a short box can look good on something.
Which is why I've been gathering parts to eventually put my 78 K20 back together as one.

Tow Me · 03-23-2010, 11:25 AM

Well if you love the long beds, there are plenty available to choose from. I'm a short bed fan.

As for the original question, "Whats with all these CCSB?"

I own one and I like that they were not made from the factory and to me the long beds proportions are just off. A short bed is a must for a lowered 2wd, and look awesome on a lifted 4wd. My truck is by no means a hack job, but there are some that are ... so please don't lump all CCSB together has crap.
