Hi I am the original builder of this concept project. I am very grateful that this truck fell into the right hands . I have limited body fender skills. I had planned to build another cab. I dropped the top. Channeled the cab. 78 Crew frame two wheel drive. Crazy as it sounds three of us started similar projects in Santa Rosa California in the early 90s. All three projects became drivers. Mine was built for practical purposes. We went north with three kids to go camping twice a month. Crew cab 4xs were not available yet. So happy that you took this truck so far . I’m proud to be part of it.

I saw one just like this one but solid colored paint, here in payette Idaho. The salvage yard owner here has it, and the idea is very cool!!!

Back in the day no body wanted a crew cab i thought about this for years also shame they didn't make them the right way anyway glad you took the time to but the driver side door looks great good job looks like to me

Wow! That color is amazing! Anything but red! Sick to death of red! Love these old Chevys!

My dad and I built mine in 1997 . I still drive it 454 , 4 whl disc added cab & a half ,low production 67 ,GMChigh roof .750 units my year , it's, same yr, as me ! Also 18 inches of Lift went into mine........... .keep up the good work on Your Phantom

It's amazing how much dedication went into this build and I don't care what motor you put in YOUR TRUCK IT'S YOUR VISION.

Outstanding beautiful truck

They did build 1500 of these. The back of a regular cab will mate up perfect. You have to drop the top.

I’m not a Chevy guy at all and I would drive this instead of any modern Ford.

WOW!! That is a awesome truck.

this is an awesome build and very education video,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the dedication is amazing …...this is definitely one of the best videos on youtube

That’s a beautiful truck! Nice work 👍🏻

Nice.

Looks fantastic. The only thing I would have done differently is put a Cummins in it

Damn that took a lot of work to restore, but oh my it was sooo worth it, these old vehicles need to be saved or they will be lost forever.

Subscribed!!! My husband and I are working hard on both of our projects also!

You did a excellent job!! Most Guys would have given up. However , next time sand blast all the rust out of the body before you start metal fab.

Wow, that’s the most amazing truck I’ve seen! Other than the wheels lol

Nice build,I commend you sir for actually making the fourth door!!!!! I usually never leave comments, but I had to on this one, I can't stand the fact that gm used three doors instead four, gay!! The only thing I'll comment on is the chinsy Nerf bars, but other than that to each his own👍

Cool

GM should have made that !

Nice work! Beautiful color choice!

You got a nice truck there.

Awesome job. The truck is gorgeous. Had to laugh at the beginning when showing the floor boards, haven't seen one of those dimmer switches for a long time.

There's a place in Bakersfield California that has a kit for the fourth door this build

AWSOME

I had a 1969 c 10 with a 455 400 auto trans 4 11 rear end i only have picture of it now miss it it also had a bad stereo speakers amp it could bump loud

There is a company that builds these special order the way you want and the engine and transmission you want. They are from $150,000 to $250,000 each I couldn't ever afford that but he started a company building them so there are plenty of people that can afford them.

I'm doing something similar at the moment. I have three dentsides in various stages cut.

NOT ENOUGH FOCUS ON FINISHED TRUCK!!!!!! Bit of a let down but F'ing fantastic job!!!!!!!

Was this originally a 3 door suburban that was modified to be a crew cab before you got your hands on it? Wicked truck!

Nice build was this a crew cab from factory ? if so this is a very rare truck....

That's not a 1986 that's gotta be atleast a 1972 cause that model year ended in 1972

Nice.
