The Truck Chevy Should Have Made!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I took some artwork that was posted in another post, and did a little creative computer editing...took a little bit of work...but it looks cool.

If you download it, and print it out..you can then design your own paint jobs...that's what I do with them!

Hope you all like it,

Didn't they make a few of these trucks for the Forestry Service and other Government agencies? I know I have seen pictures, but I don't think the cab is that clean. They used the same doors on the back as they used on the front so it had this dead space between. I don't know...I'm just a FNG!

71, I don't think that GM actually did those conversions (not sure) but yes they were made, but I think they are kind of ugly, this is what I thought they should have looked like.

I agree with you Sean. I have a new crew and often think it would have been cool if they had made them then to look like your drawing.

A FNG is for F_____n New Guy to the forum.

They did make some crew cabs. Some had only 2 doors like a HUGE x-cab, some had 3 doors like a burb with a bed, and some had 4 doors with the front doors used as back doors. Except, I don't think I have ever seen an original Crew cab shorty, but a few people have made them.

A crew cab shorty would be easy enough to make........... just start off with a longhorn frame!

I must have too much time on my hands.I saw a new Avalanche.The wheels started turning.What about a 67-72 4 door cab like the one you posted with a 4' bed smoothed to the back of it like the old Unibody F@%) trucks.
