what cabs on what frames?
Question:
Well, depending on how much work you want, anything can be done. The frames have a dip in the cab sections, for lower entry height, etc. Crew cab frames have a longer dipped section to allow for the longer length in cab. If you want to sky the cab and build spacers to hold in up from the dipped sections of the frame, it could be done. You will probably have trouble with the steering column going that route, being that it’s attached to the frame at one end, and the cab at the other…. I wouldn’t recommend it… BlazerMan – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Specific question > Can a crew cab go on a regular frame ?

Use a Suburban Frame. The crewcab will bolt on it and leave a section for a 4 foot box. It has a nice short wheel base that way. In fact I have a frame from 1984 Suburban 4×4 laying around too… Located in Central oregon. Kenny Whitman http://users.bendnet.com/nibbsmtn/60chevy66/ Home of 1960-66 Chevrolet Trucks

Specific question Can a crew cab go on a regular frame ? I got a 84 3/4 with nomal cab and bed but want no bed and crew cab. I can weld/grind/cut to attach it just need to know if this is possible before I start buying/destroying what’s there. I saw the neat drawings on Chuck’s pages but I am still clueless. Thanks, Jim
