Title: is this factory?
Post by: CUCVonROCKS on December 15, 2012, 08:16:52 PM
I saw this truck on Craigslist and just wanted to know if this is a factory ext-cab Chevy. I didn't think chevy made ext-cabs till early 90's

I feel like that would be more work then it's worth to delete the back doors and close the cab. But you might be right

Well I just googled it and it is a factory made truck. From what I saw they made these in 85,86,and87. Very rare and very cool. And definitly factory.

Yep they were factory.  Very rare but not as rare as the factory 84 Chevy custom deluxe, ext. Cab crew cab. Long bed dually. Came with 350/350 2 WD only.  I seen one in person and it was awesome :-)

I think they built these trucks for the higher ups. Rare trucks, I think there was also a aftermarket company that did this to them also.

They were conversions. Not factory built. Notice every truck has the majority of the front section of an 8' bed cut off. These are custom conversions.
