I wish someone had the info on who built it. The vast majority of these trucks were the ugly ones that pretty much just welded two cabs together with a big piece of triangle shaped metal between the doors.

I still believe the "cab" started out as a suburban. It would be cool to see if the glovebox SPID calls it out as a burb or truck. However, to do this to a brand new burb/truck seems like it would have been $ even back then (would have had to buy two new vehicles)?... or it was a burb that got the frame lengthened and a truck box added?

Unfortunately, it looks like the OP's last post on the forums was about a year ago...

Thanks for posting Mike!

You say the city had trucks like your dad's 4 door? That may be a lead for finding out who built the trucks.
