    Has anyone ever seen a 47-52 era chevy truck stretched into a cab and a half or a 4 door????
     
  2. do some searching in railroad archives as they were built for the track maint. crews. i think the forest service also had them. check out the old snow clearing machines used to keep tracks open in the winter.

    Thinking of taking a panel delivery or suburban and cutting if off behind the second set of doors then using a donor cab for the back panel!! Using a full size frame with a 6ft box like a newer dodge mega cab.

    The Suburbans and panels did not have back doors. You will have to use some front doors and fabricate a set of rear doors. Lots of work, but it can be done.
     
  6. I'd forget about the crew cab and just build a 4 door Suburban. That would be cool. Lots of work, but cool.

    A local guy stretched the cab and door. It is almost hard to notice. If I find a photo, I will post it.

    The newbuilt "copy" of the Chevy pickup from about 1950-54 (Southern Motor Company) got a longer cabin, and a slight lower top, justified for better comfort.

    Everytime I see a 50's truck stretched to a cab and a half it brings back memories of the 90's.

    Love that body style truck and have a four in our family so that is why the stretch.
