Ford used to have a truck in the 60's that they called a unibody. I think it had a frame under it, but the bed and cab were together. That may be where he was getting the lingo from.

Storm Chaser · 10-06-2009, 06:36 PM

That's true- I looked at a Ford Unibody pickup at the Ducktail show- cab and bed are one piece and it has a full frame under it. Woulda bought it if I had the space to put it.

JohnC · 10-06-2009, 07:02 PM

Yeah they are pretty cool trucks.

ARAMP1 · 10-07-2009, 03:13 PM

Gotta love the "More than Four" door crews.

That white one is massive! It would look sweet running around town though by a limo service.

**truckfan** · 10-07-2009, 09:02 PM

anyone remember the 8 door suburbans that Phillips petroleum used to run execs to the Tulsa airport from bartlesville. i know not technically a crew cab, but these streches made me think

joe231 · 10-07-2009, 09:13 PM

that is nuts! I want one

JohnC · 10-08-2009, 08:28 AM

I don't think the wife would trade her Element for that Joe.

joe231 · 10-08-2009, 08:50 AM

I'm sure she won't.

texastruckjunky · 10-08-2009, 10:38 AM

Ill take 1 w/ 8 kids everyone has there own door, or almost everyone. The little ones dont really need a window seat.

justpball · 10-08-2009, 01:33 PM

wish i had one...

*BGRAFX* · 10-08-2009, 05:41 PM

I showed that pic to my wife and fellas I **** you not she went to the dr. today and got birth control. I just bought our suburban 2weeks before our 3rd little one was born. She's a month old now and doing great. Sure would be cool to see one of those super extended crews or suburbans up close. thanks for sharing.

JohnC · 10-08-2009, 05:57 PM

scotto0609 · 10-08-2009, 08:05 PM

exactly, and yes it did have a frame i also have years of collision work under my belt and am not talking about the subframe cars i'm talking about a truck that the bed is made to the cab.

**truckfan** · 10-08-2009, 11:04 PM

i did some digging and found some more pics. they seem to be made by Stageway, who was responsible for many of the 60's railroad crew cabs. I just know that Phillips Petroleum had 8 or 10 of these at a time and ran several times a day up and down US 75 to and from the Tulsa Airport. they ran them to 300K or so. i knew of a guy who bought one in the late 80s. i remember them being two tone blue. love to find one

JohnC · 10-09-2009, 08:58 AM

They were built in Ft Smith, AR if I remember correctly. There was a thread about them a while back. Bigblock73 had some info on his website, but I can't find it now.
