Crewsin in my 63 GMC Crew Cab - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LT1 Burb · 09-26-2014, 10:55 PM

That will be a high dollar build but you will have one hell of a killer truck when it's done. I don't even think you would see another like it, not high $ in my opinion.

64chevycrewcab · 02-28-2015, 04:55 AM

Any updates on the GMC Crew cab?

padresag · 06-14-2015, 10:50 PM

Wanted to stop by and give a quick update. Looks like I'll be purchasing tickets from Honolulu to Seattle on June 3rd. I'll exchange a rental car for a family truck and hauler, then drive for 2,000 miles to Kansas City and literally "pick up the pieces" of this truck. Horribly disappointed after 4 years and a total of ~$30,000 (including purchase, shipping, parts, and payment to 4-5-6) that all I have is pieces of rust and a $1,000 airline ticket + travel expenses in the future.

66-PMD-GMC · 04-30-2016, 06:01 PM

Been waiting for an update for some time..
Not the update I was hoping for.
How can we help?

likaroc13 · 04-30-2016, 06:49 PM

Wow, so sorry to hear!

it's got a 351E, which means this motor was put in sometime after 1966....

Looks like the spiders like it as well. Be careful you don't get bit

Unbelievable...

I'm only a state away from Kansas City. Let me know if you'd like some help loading things up. I can make the trip.

Wow!!

This truck was the bomb back in its glory days. I too have been waiting on an update. I thought that you were going to surprise us all some day and you would post pictures of it completed. Sorry to hear the bad news. What exactly happened? Was this too far gone with all the rust or could you not come to terms with Tony? From the looks of its condition to pay someone to restore it back to the day it rolled out of the Orrville Metal Specialty Companies facility if I had to guess would be $60,000 to $80,000?

cetacean6 · 05-17-2016, 02:43 PM

Honestly I don't know what happened. Tony is the only one who knows, and he certainly isn't talking (to me anyway). I've been trying to get in touch with him for about 6 weeks but haven't heard anything back.
Too bad. This could've turned out so well for Tony. I think he would've gotten a lot of good publicity if this was handled differently.
I'm still waiting for a scope of service! That's how much non-communication I've had.

64chevycrewcab · 05-17-2016, 03:03 PM

Where is the truck now?

66-PMD-GMC · 05-17-2016, 03:14 PM

Bummer...
A real bummer

cetacean6 · 06-05-2016, 12:23 AM

In Washington State now. Leaving early in the morning for the long trip to Kansas City. Hopefully everything will be ready to go and he'll have his guys help loading everything up. Wish me luck!

Any update on the retrieval of your truck yet? I sure would like to see this completed and restored some day.

Sorry to the read the bad news.What it city in Wash. is your truck.

Johnny_Lamebridge · 06-12-2016, 12:42 PM

cetacean6, I read about your Crewcab situation when I first joined the forum. I'm really sorry to hear that your troubles are still happening.

Was there any work done to your truck, or was it just dismantled and left?

ClassicChevyAK · 09-19-2016, 07:35 PM

Hey Rob, I hope this project is still in progress - I would like to see an update! I watched it sit for many years in Alaska, and even tried to buy it once about 15 years ago. Google Earth still shows it sitting at it's old home...

cetacean6 · 07-26-2018, 11:21 AM

I'm in Washington State around the Quinalt area for a few days. I think it's best to let this project go. I'm going on a day trip to Mount St. Helens today, but if someone wants to pick up the pieces of this truck and all the NOS parts I have, I think I'll be willing to let it go tomorrow or Saturday. I've got 50k into this pile of parts (including shipping from Alaska and to/from Tony).
I'll check my PM's tonight for offers.

jonzcustomshop · 07-26-2018, 11:31 AM

that is too bad, I really hoped you could get it done.
did tony ever do anything to it besides disassemble it?
