Crew cab owners - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BIGCHEVYMAN · 08-19-2007, 02:06 PM

I was just curious how many 73-91 crew cab owners we had here.
I have a 89 crew cab 4x4 with a 6.2 diesel and a 4 speed.

i dont have a pic now but i have a 1/2 ton short wide bed crew cab w/4-6 drop and 20,s, a 454 but soon to have a lt350 and 460le
update----went with 5.3 / 46le

**lolife99** · 08-19-2007, 08:10 PM

I have an '89 crew with a 454/ turbo 400/ and 4:10 gears. This thing needs a small block and a overdrive transmission. Gas is killing me. By the way OJOE,... your truck is the reason I am building one. I now have a 1/2 ton frame for the rear clip swap. But, still looking for a short fleetside bed. Post up some pics of yours to get me motivated.

68GMC454 · 08-19-2007, 08:52 PM

i figure if i get 6 to 8mgp in my beast,,i will be happy and drive it everyday..but i will love having the extra room to stretch out,,lol..

Too bad your not closer. I found what appears to be a nice bed and cab on the Houston Craigslist.....cheap.

**lolife99** · 08-19-2007, 10:44 PM

Thanks N2TRUX,... I will check it out. Maybe with shipping it won't be too bad.

rrspeed · 08-20-2007, 11:00 AM

I have an 83 crew cab dually. The 6.2 let go so I'm currently replacing it with a 454. I'm looking for the alternator, power steering and A/C brackets. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The heartbeat lives on!

1973 crew cab with a 400 small block, 700R4 transmission.

NICK3757 · 08-20-2007, 01:43 PM

No pics yet, but i had an 87 with a 6" lift, 400 sbc, and a turbo 400. The other is a 90 dually with a 454, turbo 400, and about 3 mpg. (that is real. no exaggeration.) And i drove it 50 miles a day for two weeks in the beginning of senior year.

bigoates · 08-21-2007, 12:08 PM

Hi all, I am new to this site. Dont own a crew cab yet, but I am looking into building one in the near future. Toying with the idea of building a crew cab with either a stepside bed or a short bed.

I own a bunch of chevy/gmc trucks including a suburban, 2 k5 Blazers, caballero, and my daily driver 2500hd.

Love the old body style and think it would be really cool to see a truck like that lifted up in the air.

What do you guys think and have you seen anyone do this yet on here?? i would love to see some pics of what it would look liike.

thx

I plan on buying a crewcab soon if I can find one around here that's decent, probably an early to late 80's dually.

BIGCHEVYMAN · 07-14-2008, 12:11 AM

i stole my truck from tempel texas.
recently installed a banks turbo set up and now it is getting around 17 mpg.

SmokeShow · 07-14-2008, 11:01 AM

Check it out... it's a work in progress... hopefully get to start on the conversion this winter.

**Captkaos** · 07-14-2008, 02:10 PM

I have added carpet and reupholstered the front seat with new seat cushion bottom. rear seat is next. Gets 17mpg on the highway!
