Edsel-Dan Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 First Crew-cab of that era Chevy I have seen!! Bet they were Very Rare!
Rob Hall Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Probably used the rear steer suspension that was available for a few years on the GMT-800 era ( '99-06) Silverado. I've never seen a '67-72 crew cab, I'm assuming it's a custom.. Edited March 5, 2013 by Rob Hall
Edsel-Dan Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Or likely Never sold to the Public, only Fleet/Service customers does give me an idea though for some of the cabs/kits I have !!!!! Edited March 5, 2013 by Edsel-Dan
Lownslow Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 someone said it started out as a suburban only has 3 doors
Edsel-Dan Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 OK. Custom built by owner. And Yes, All Suburban's of the 67-72 era were only 3 doors. No left side rear door. Only on the right side. Use to be one here. Wish I could see it again. Might try to get it!!
Fabrux Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 I have seen this particular truck before and I do believe he started with a Suburban for the cab. This isn't the first crew cab I've seen for this body style, however. Seems to me there were some custom made for railway companies? I think they were the biggest customers for six-seater trucks back in the day.
Tom Geiger Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Seems to me there were some custom made for railway companies? The military was also a big buyer of crew cabs. I don't remember any Chevys, but as a military brat I remember seeing Dodge crew cabs on base. And since then, every one I've seen in the hobby started out as a military unit.
Casey Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Probably used the rear steer suspension that was available for a few years on the GMT-800 era ( '99-06) Silverado. I've never seen a '67-72 crew cab, I'm assuming it's a custom.. It would almost be a necessity with a wheelbase that long. A very nice looking, and well executed truck. It's surprising how well the late model wheels integrate, too.
Fabrux Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 I've driven a work truck that was that long and let me tell you 4WS would've been handy. One thing that always made me wonder about this truck is how he managed to get the rear steering assembly to fit under that narrow box. The Quadrasteer trucks had stepside fenders on full-width beds to give extra space.
ModelKarAddikt30 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 4WS DOES IT HAVE REAR WHEEL STEERING? Sure looks like it
Jantrix Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 DOES IT HAVE REAR WHEEL STEERING? Sure looks like it And he still missed the parking spot.
