Actually I was playing around with my camera and came up with a possible project to do on my 51 GMC. What do you think? Should I go for the quad cab idea( I have other cabs I can use for the project) or should I keep it original? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 | I have seen a couple of quad cab coes. If done right, it is pretty awesome. If done with duck tape, pretty funny. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 275 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 275 | Here is a picture of an extended cab that looks pretty good

I thought THAT LOOKED GOOD! It gave the room needed and gave the truck a slight chopped look. That is what I want to do next. That looked hot and gave more function too. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,441 Moderator - The Electrical Bay | | Moderator - The Electrical Bay Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,441 | you almost had me there...
I'd go four door, if I wanted that big of a truck.. maybe scavenge some suburban doors for the 2nd set?
Another quality post.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Scavenging 'Burban doors wouldn't work, the 'burbs didn't get rear side doors until '67, and then it was only on the right side. They got 4 doors in '73.
Chevy Nut, thet GMC that you have pictured looks lik an aftermarket conversion to me. Not too uncommon to see something like that from a construction or mining company, perhaps a loggong outfit as well. I beleive that International made the first factory built crew cabs, most others were made by specialty builders until the early '70s.

I did it myself on the kitchen table with 4 pictures, scissors and tape. It's nice to know that it looks realistic enough to fool you. Might just encourage me to do it, maybe chop the top while I'm at it. Anyway it was a fun diversion for the evening. | | |
