Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

I have been watching this forum for a few months now and was wondering if anyone here has any pics or seen anyone building a true four door pick up this body style. I have seen a few extended cabs but no four doors. Any help would be very appriciated!!!!

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

If nobody has any pics i will post some of what i am working on. I started off with a 48,50, an a 51. This is where i am at now!!!

Nice man, how are you going about back doors? Suicided?

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Yeah they will be suicied and the doors will close together like the new pickups. I have the driverside back door mocked up with the latch and stuff for the front door to close already on it. I am waiting for my bear claw latches and hinges to come in. Hopefully they will be in before the end of the month.

here are a few I have had stored on my pc for a while

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Thank you so much for the pics guys. It keeps giving me the motivation that i need to truck along. I think the more i see the COEs I would really like to find one to make a hauler out of. Thanks again guys. Hopefully will have some more progress pics after this weekend depending if we get the snow we are sposed to.

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

got good news today, I was able to finially get the materials i needed to finish the roof skin. I picked up three pieces of 16 gauge tubing to build a frame to support the roof and a few sheets of 18 gauge cold rolled sheets for the skins. Hopefully if the kidos behave this weekend we can get something done.

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Had a good day on sunday and was able to get alittle work done. I was able to get the roof almost finished. It still needs the drip rails and a little work done on the driverside rear door. I need to finish the roof out but it is all tacked into place. I used some one inch square tubing to build a frame for the add on. So far everything is coming right along. Hopefully i will be able to get the pasenger side worked up this week and the weekend. I hope you guys injoy the pics!!!!!

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

you are very tallented in your work. One question though is the body line straight it kinda look like each door angles up in the middle? Great work none the less

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

It is the back door that is jacked up. It is just tacked in there to give you a look untill i get my hinges and latches in. I am not very good at waiting and i get very anxious!!!

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

me too. goin to be cool

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

lookin good 806

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Are you planing any type of A Pillar between frt and back doors. at the top? or ? Looking forward in watching you finish this up. ITS LOOKING GOOD

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

I dont plan on any pilar between the doors, but i am going to have to come up with something to go inbetween the windows. I havent got that far yet. Im still waiting on my hinges and latches to come in. Hopefully they will come in this week and we can get a little progress done on Sat.!!!

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Would a system like a van or panel rear/side door work for the back? So the latch is actually up and down at the top and bottom for the back door? Just a though. Dig the trucks. I've wanted to do this with a 1 ton panel, make it a 4 door. So glad you put the effort into making the back door frame "square." I saw one recently that they just swapped side to side so they had a slanted back edge of each rear door. Looked like they weren't trying, to me!

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Been a while since i've been able to see whats going on with every body. I have had a little bit of progress, but still waiting on the hinges so i can finish the rear doors and cab. I am getting very anxious. I want to be able to drive it by july. We have a great local show the third weekend of July. I cant wait. Here you go . I hope you enjoy the pics. It gives me a great idea of the finished product.

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Keeps getting closer. I really like it. What wheel base did you end up with?

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Looks very well proportioned, keep us posted cause you aren't the the only that's anxious

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

thats looking very nice. my buddy was going to try to build one. he came up on a sweet deal for to 48's but changed his mind. your work is very good. I might of miss it but are you going to bag it?

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

How much stretch is it and are you going to put a seat in the back? Looks great!

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

I will have to measure it this weekend. I know it was a regular long bed s=10 frame that we streched 32 inches. I am working on it at a buddies shop so it will be this weekend before i can take a look at it....

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

man i would really like to bag it but i dont think it will happen. I really just want to get it put together and be able to drive it this summer.

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Here is one already done. It has been chopped too.
Not mine, just came across it on EBay.

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Im trying. It is going to be close. I had a little snag the first part of April.. The snag has left me with a lot of heartache and a ton of work to clean up my grandfathers estate and try to get it sold. I will hopefully have some progress pics this weekend and alittle more of an update!!!!!

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Sorry to hear about your grandfather. The truck is looking very good. My friend's Dad had a 53 chevy the length of a crew cab but it was only a 2 door. He sold it about 10 years ago. I'll see if I can find some pics of it. It was aweome. It was tubbed with a LT1 and he built a very sweet step side box for it as well. It was painted metallic blue.

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Sorry for your loss, You are doing a Great Job with the Build..........

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Im looking at building a crew cab or at least an extended cab. have a baby on the way and cant imagine life without a hotrod. I have 6 cabs so I have lots to play with just would like to get some ideas before I come up with a plan. I like the idea of no gap between the doors. would love to see more! thanks heres a pict of my daily driver.

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Very nice truck!

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

New to board. Very interested in your project. How is your progress going? I have three cabs and two frames, one completely stock one with a camaro front clip. Thinking of doing a crew cab also, I have two kids need the extra room for them to come along. I modifield a picture in paint of what I'm planning on, in has a 2" chop and the bed has been shorted like the newer trucks to keep the truck shorter. Let me know what you think. Your truck looks great!

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

that is almost the exact look i am going for. Hope fully it will turn out alright. I started with 3 cabs and an s-10 frame that got streched 32 inches. I ended up shorting the bed as well. I like the shorter space between the back of the cab and the front of the rear fenders. Let me know if there is any thing i can do for you and welcome to the board from West Texas!!!

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Looking good and you Sir are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

Re: Pics of a 47-54 crew cab???
 

Thanks, When you did the roof skin did you flange and weld or but weld the sheet metal? Also did you hand bend the metal or did you have a roller. What size are your wheels? When you streched your frame did you notch it or make a straight cut with fish plates. Sorry for all of the questions but im trying to get all the info together. Did you have to modify the rear door to met the contour of the rear of the front door ( not the window frames). Have you got your door hinges yet?
