Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed

Congrats on the new addition............but sad that I won't get a chance to see it complete. To bad you're so far away, I'd just buy your body/frame assembly. Save me having to do mine. My current one is getting a 2wd setup.

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed

Progress coming soon! I just bought my steering column for the truck... My next step(s) will be setting up the front axle (Dana 60 with cross over / high steer), mounting the steering box (2wd steering box), and building the Engine mount crossmember...

Stay tuned... Project 87' Custom Crew cab short bed is ready to go back under the knife!

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed

Funny you should ask... I made a deal with my wife that if I didn't install the cummins in the crew cab by the end of August I was going to sell everything...

I did buy another bed for the truck that is in perfect, and I mean perfect condition...

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed

I also purchased a 2005 Tahoe interior for the truck. The seats are the fully loaded leather, heated, and full power front buckets. The 2005 Tahoe middle row seat will be used for the back seat that has a drop down center console... I don't have photos of the seats but will take some soon and post...

You have a couple of days to get the engine in it and keep it.

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed

A little time on the crew cab....

With the pressure building to get the mighty crew cab completed, I finally gave the day to her.

Today I finished removing all the old interior parts in preparation for the new seats (2005 Tahoe front buckets and middle row for the rear seat replacement).

After removing all the original rubber floor mats and jute I quickly discovered how solid this cab is... Needless to say I'm stoked...

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed

I am very interested to see how you mount the front and rear seats. Very glad you're still going at this thing!

Me too, to both statements...

I have a few ideas and will share them as they materialize. One thing is for sure, I cannot use the rear seat frame. My wife sat in the seat and she had about 6" of head clearance.
She told me that, "Oh well this will work".
I responded by telling her that not everyone is only 5 feet tall, and I'd have to lower the seat down a minimum of 3-4 inches.

All in all I'm excited to get back to work on this beast!

Here is a link to the first custom built turbo charged diesel land cruiser my shop has produced, and my main reason for not having time to work on my crew cab:

STAY TUNED!

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed

I am planning to use the same seats in my 85 crew cab as well. I had thought about unbolting the seat tracks and brackets from my 07 seats and adapting them to the factory rear bench seat frame. Just a thought, I havent got that far yet though.
