Check out this C20 crew cab truck

[GRADS]

One of my buddies lives down in Mexico and came across this thing. He is doing a full restoration on it. So here's the deal on it...Scott Chevrolet in Oklahoma City would take brand new trucks from the factory in 1972 and would make them into crew cabs. Kind of a weird looking thing but still cool.

I appreciate the work going into it, but it starts fucking with my eyes when I look at too long. Kinda like those 3D art pictures used to.

Weird, but still be pretty cool. I'd run it.

Now, your "friend" lives in Mexico, found this truck and is restoring it. Either he's connected, or plans on parking it. It stands out too much in a country that has some...security issues. I'm sure all kinds of "businessmen" would love that thing. Either loaded with illegals, or gunmen, 4x4 and all, pretty useful.

Rad . . . very different.
Brings back memories as a kid in Dads truck . . . .the wind whistling through that wind-wing !

Change the rear glass and frames......... and she would be a keeper.

They fucked up the look by putting in 2 front doors. That funky triangle back door gap is lame.

The resto looks good but it looks like a photo chop. Would be cool if they used a suburban.

Ford did it right. This is my 69 Ford F350. Ford made rear doors just for the crew cabs. This was not a factory option until 73. And yes it's rusty and for sale

Thats what I was going to say. Ive seen a few that used a suburban and a couple that maintained the Suburban barn doors as the bulkhead to the bed. Wouldnt really want to carry much in that bed to not mess up the doors, but a pretty cool feature.

I think a good washing then a good crushing would make it look way better

love it!

x2! It's different and there's a little history to why it was done that way. Very unique.

The wing windows were good for flicking the ashes out and pulling the smoke out of the cab. Just like rear sliders are great for tossing the empties in the bed.

Flashback to my 89 F150. I was going about 80 up the 99 to see my girlfriend in Fresno. Learned that some sort of magic vortex would throw cans through the rear slider and hit me in the back of the head

A few more pics...lots of blue in there.

In the 80s, I worked for a road construction outfit in Oregon, they had one of those that had a shortened box, like a five foot & the frame hadn't been messed with. IIRC it had that emblem from the Texas dealer as well.

My brother grafted an Excursion on the back of an F650. It’s pretty bitchen. Customer hauled a stacker with vintage race cars.

Except that 1968-1972 Suburbans only had 3 doors, so they would still have to fabricate a rear drivers side door.

 

[Angler]

That Chebby needs suicide doors..

 

[Desert Whaler]

Put a matching Snug Top on it. . . . so much puss !!!!

 

[mash on it]

Dodge did a similar thing in the '60's

Reminds me of the movie 'Fire in the Sky"

The Chevy would be a K-20 Cheyenne

It wouldnt be too difficult from what I am told. Under the skin of the Sub body there is still a door frame there, just welded into place and skinned over. Again, what I have been told, havent had a chance to investigate myself.

Why? It works on the burbs.
