A 72 and 79 are two totally different body styles. If you have 73-87 then the body parts are interchangable somewhat. I would stick with the crew cab and drop the dooley rear end. Just depends on what you want the truck to be and do for you.

Thanks for the reply, My plans are to restore the body/interior and drop a Cummings into the old girl. Throw my camper on and cruse. I'm ( semi retired) and enjoy travel.

What I would do is keep the 3+3, loose the doolie, and give it a short bed. Welcome!

Hey there! Welcome to the board. You might remember me from TDP.
To me, the ultimate truck is a 4 door, long bed dually with a diesel power plant. So that is what I suggest. However, I prefer the '81-87 body styles. Even better, put a '91 Suburban front clip on your 3+3, and you'd have one mean truck!
