She needs a "Ton"😏of work however she came with all new front clip sheet metal in pretty good shape. I was told she was a Crummie which is why she's long with X-tra windows. Has anyone seen one like this before ? She's a C-30 with a V-8

When I was a kid, the logggers and tree planters refered to vans, suburbans, and 4 door pickups as "crummies". To me it meant whatever hauled the crew around.
Welcome to the garage Dexstar!. I have to ask though, what is a Crummie?

Short for "crew crummie"

(informal, British Columbia and U.S. Pacific Northwest) Small van, bus, or railway car used to transport loggers or other resource workers to and from the worksite. A common term when referring to a vehicle with a compartment separate from the cab, housing the silvicultural, logging or mining crew during transport.
Logging companies could be a good source for pristine pickup boxes. They would remove the box from a brand new pickup and install a crummie cabin in it's place. The unused boxes were stacked up in the yard.
