Hi I am the original builder of this concept project. I am very grateful that this truck fell into the right hands . I have limited body fender skills. I had planned to build another cab. I dropped the top. Channeled the cab. 78 Crew frame two wheel drive. Crazy as it sounds three of us started similar projects in Santa Rosa California in the early 90s. All three projects became drivers. Mine was built for practical purposes. We went north with three kids to go camping twice a month. Crew cab 4xs were not available yet. So happy that you took this truck so far . I’m proud to be part of it.

I saw one just like this one but solid colored paint, here in payette Idaho. The salvage yard owner here has it, and the idea is very cool!!!

Back in the day no body wanted a crew cab i thought about this for years also shame they didn't make them the right way anyway glad you took the time to but the driver side door looks great good job looks like to me

What did you use for the door pillars between both cabs?
@Suthyrnrock885 ай бұрын
@@richardlinden4015 These are built from Caryalls / Suburbans . A standard cab back is used. Holes in the outrigger actually line up, set your door or doors reveal. Minimum work required to change the rear door at the c pillar using a standard cab door. On this one the entire top was removed and lowered. This is not my video just thought I’d chime in. Still kicking myself for not finishing this truck.

They did build 1500 of these. The back of a regular cab will mate up perfect. You have to drop the top.

There is a company that builds these special order the way you want and the engine and transmission you want. They are from $150,000 to $250,000 each I couldn't ever afford that but he started a company building them so there are plenty of people that can afford them.
