Re: 56 Crewcab on the Bay...................
hey, that looks like the photo chops we did in my crew cab post!
there is something not right there at the back of the cab. the bed looks level, but the cab doesn't. it may just be poor fabrication of the rear cab mounts

Re: 56 Crewcab on the Bay...................
The truck has a lot of potential if the right guy got his hands on it though.
As it is sitting on a later dualie chassis I would say that the body and bed just aren't aligned as well as they should be. It looks like both should come up about an inch or so where they meet. Last edited by mr48chev; 07-10-2008 at 01:41 AM. |

Re: 56 Crewcab on the Bay...................
The bed does seem to be leaning towards the cab.

Re: 56 Crewcab on the Bay...................
I don't know, but I'll bet it was a lot of work. suicide doors on a crewcab dually, pretty impressive.

Re: 56 Crewcab on the Bay...................
Boy howdy I thought that one was lost in the back dredges of the archives never to be seen again.
Power, I think he probably used a suicide door kit but he could have used part of the front post moved to the other side to runs stock hinges. Having swapped posts corner to corner on mine and using stock hinges to do suicide doors I'd (and have) spring for the suicide door hinge kit on it rather than use the stock hinges. That was a pretty cool truck that seems to have left the face of the earth after it was on Ebay.

Re: 56 Crewcab on the Bay...................
The suicide doors are not that hard to hinge. I used the original hinges on mine and just fabed up pockets in the pillar.

Really, no one here knows how to shim pickup body components for alignment? That slight misalignment is easy to adjust. . |

Re: 56 Crewcab on the Bay...................
Evidently the guy who built that truck didn't and that is the one detracting thing about that truck. the bent in the middle look. Nearly as bad as the droopy poopy drawers bed leaning down in the back look on AD trucks on S-10 frames to make them look lower in the back.

Re: 56 Crewcab on the Bay...................
Sweet, the last post before yesterday was 2008. Remember that, boys and girls. That stuff you put out there on the web just might be there a while!

Re: 56 Crewcab on the Bay...................
Yuppers and someone who didn't read that is going nuts trying to find the truck on Ebay now. I knew it was an old thread because I remembered answering it the first time.

I do think extended cab would be a lot easier if I had access to a 55-59 burban. Errr
