Edsel-Dan Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 First Crew-cab of that era Chevy I have seen!! Bet they were Very Rare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted March 5, 2013 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted March 5, 2013 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lownslow Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 someone said it started out as a suburban only has 3 doors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted March 5, 2013 Share 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted March 5, 2013 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Could Road, or other 'Work' Crews had them too?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted March 6, 2013 Share 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 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted March 7, 2013 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
