**AspecialZ** · 02-27-2005, 06:22 PM

vern350 · 02-27-2005, 06:26 PM

chevy never made any of these did they? This one was custom made, the frame was sectioned out.

Lynx · 02-27-2005, 06:36 PM

That is correct. If you see a 4 door short box its a custom.

**N2TRUX** · 02-27-2005, 06:37 PM

Nope chevy never made them. Too bad cause they are soooo cool!

vern350 · 02-27-2005, 06:40 PM

its got a mild 350 and goes pretty darn good.

GMC1tondually4dr · 02-27-2005, 06:44 PM

edman87 · 02-27-2005, 10:40 PM

crosby · 02-27-2005, 11:33 PM

cool! I'm all for the 37s myself. I would really like a crew cab 3+3 shorty 4x4 with one ton single rear wheels... The Gran Prix seats sounds like a really plush interior, that will be awesome. Got any pics?

u2slow · 02-28-2005, 12:32 AM

That one's alot little prettier than mine! Probably custom-built at specialty shop... not hacked together by a logging company

krazy_texan · 02-28-2005, 02:00 AM

those are cool, never seen one before but the other day i did see an 82 burb where the top of the back was cut off and a bulkhead and rear window was put up behind the back seat kinda looked like an early avalanche kinda thing.

If you need help resizing the pics let us know...

I came a cross a 84-87 4x4 shortbox the ther day, I want one. About 8 months ago there was a custom one advertised locally in the truck trader, an 87 he wanted $7000 for it. Then shortly thereafter we came across another at a bodyshop, they had just finished shortning the frame and adding the shortbox, this is really beginning to catch on.

tbirdman88 · 02-28-2005, 10:58 AM

heres a pic of mine, fixing to do the body work and paint. this is the only pic i have for know.
