The Custom Conversion Truck Thread

[454cid]

I bet! Lol, I have never had a fiberglass cover, but I can only imagine how heavy those things are, and especially the one on that truck! Might need three people to lift it off.

The one on that truck must be like lifting a boat!

Has anybody ever seen a 3/4 or 1 ton CCLB or ECLB customized? I love the custom work, but need the towing capacity and full bed of the bigger truck.

Plenty...Western Hauler for example. Look 'em up. One of their specialties were taking crew cabs and extending the body like a combo of a crew and extended cab, and adding a gooseneck style bed. And, of course, the usual custom paint, wood interior trim work, TV's, etc. They're still in business afaik and also do heavier truck conversions.

Ya know, if ya unbolt that thing, flip it over, attach a 5hp Johnson to the back y'all be gator fishn in no time

Seriously though, I have one on my short bed (******* brand, quickly took the badge off that!) and the struts are borderline at the moment, that if there is a slight downward wind, the cover drops on your head. It would be coming off if there were no gas struts or they were worn as it would just become a nuisance lifting with one hand.

Had 2 conversion Gmt400's so far. 99 Tahoe k1500 mark 3
97 Silverado k1500 by sherrod
The mark 3 was swanky, lots of wood grain inside, upgraded leather, tube tv with vcr, custom overhead console with mood lighting, and fiberglass running boards .unfortunately it got rear ended.now the interior, doors and hood are on the sierra.
The Sherrod had less swank, and way more squiggly decals, but it had 100k on the odo and the cleanest undercarriage/motor I've seen in an east coast gmc yet. Had leather&suede bench seats, cheaper woodgrain, beefed up 2500 suspension, and some bulky running boards.+ I bought it from an Amish guy.

I'm not sure why, but I got a good laugh out of that! He must have realized he wasn't suppose to be driving a truck, let alone a fancy version!

Well,the guy that sold it to me was a Mennonite farmer from pennsyltucky, but his mechanic/the guy he bought it from was amish. I'm not sure what those folks coated the underside of the truck with, but it was so clean. We've been calling it magic Amish oil

I have a 1993 conversion truck. Currently trying to find out who made it. how do I know who made it?

No sticker on the inside of the drivers door, near the latch? There were a ton of those around, back in the day. My dad had a baby blue one, with a bunch of real wood in the interior. Even then I thought it was cheesy. I believe his, like many others, was done through Choo Choo Customs.
