Nice work man. You've got me thinking about a crew cab now. I think my next daily driver will either be a crew or a suburban.

PraireCrew · 12-09-2010, 08:22 PM

Then last year I picked up a shortened 4x4 crew cab frame, diffs, trany, and a np 205 transfer case. I also picked up a 89 suburban with a 6.2 diesel and a banks turbo.

Nice truck, and cool project!

PraireCrew · 12-09-2010, 09:00 PM

This past summer most of my time and money went into my shop, finishing the inside got the floor cemented with in floor heat lines. But I could not get the boiler yet so, it's still cold for the winter. So I probably won't work on the truck until spring or summer.

Nice shop !!!! Cool truck!!

Thanks for the comments keep you updated as I start working on it again.

Scott26 · 12-11-2010, 03:39 PM

What color blue is that??

str8axle55 · 12-11-2010, 10:36 PM

Looks great so far.

DBLSPRT68 · 12-11-2010, 10:49 PM

Great work so far! Me likes it a lot

Did you cut the bed like that, or what? That is exactly how the company (CVI)cut the long beds to make the extended cab square bodies from 84-87. I have one, and the bed looks just like yours!

Thanks, Ya I cut the box like that. I got the frame from a friend and he had cut the frame in the middle only. I like the way it looks like that.

TheWhiteElephant · 12-12-2010, 12:34 AM

Looks fantastic. I admire your patience.

PraireCrew · 01-25-2011, 01:07 AM

On the weekend I installed a wood stove so I could get back to working in my shop, nice and toasty now. I am going to start with cleaning up my motor and getting it painted up, don't have a lot of cash right now so the build will be slow but it feels good to be working on it again.

PraireCrew · 03-19-2011, 10:48 AM

Some updates, been working on cleaning and painting the motor and working on the firewall.I am putting a patch panel from my parts burban in for the a/c It was a non a/c cab

DBLSPRT68 · 03-19-2011, 03:53 PM

Thanks!
I am currently working on finishing shortening my box and working on getting rear burban fuel tank installed, I was hoping to use my 40 gal tank but it's a little to long so I will have to get a 31 gal tank.
