[powerwagonpaul]

Glenn,
did you decide to put a camper on it? your other idea for it was VERY cool

[pfury369]

paul if i come across a sweet newer style camper ,i mite try it until the other part is completed.i am hitting the tires and getting it ready of inspection now.

OK, my turn, just bought this today. I have to haul it home. custom be3d, which the owner is keeping. Its been extended to 12 feet. I am not sure what I am going to do with it, either a resto hot rod hauler or maybe use the body on a 96 dodge diesel truck and make a crew cab sweptline driver.

i was thinking the same thing! good deal!

Goregeous!!! Good to see another Oregon Sweptliner!!

Ok, where is Hubbard Oregon, any chance its the East side? I REALLY need to see these trucks, are they all done? any pics. I have soo many projects in my head and ran out of talent long ago. I am a muscle car guy and want to build a 4x4 cummins 71 crew cab. I have a 96 ex cab cummins and a 71 crew cab that was cut an dmade into a 12 ft flatbed.

Is it easier to use the 86 cummins and fab a bed (I have an extra short bed) on to it with the crew cab or use the running gear on the swepty frame and truck?

Unfortunately Hubbard is on the west side, just south of Portland... My truck is done- I drive it 80 miles a day 5 days a week with no problems whatsoever. As far as your truck, I'm uncertain as to how that frame would work- mine is on the earlier 1990 frame that I stretched 29", but I think your '96 club cab long bed frame ought to be just about the perfect length for a crew short bed. The only thing I'm uncertain of is how the frame compares to the original sweptline frame as far as frame elevations. With some head scratching, a tape measure and a notebook and pen I'd imagine it could be worked out- thats how mine came to fruition when I first put my frame together by myself at age 19 . You might ask Andrew (slick) for his 2 cents- he had a wrecked '96 extra cab long bed 4x4 chassis that he wanted to put his blue '64 crew cab on a few years back. I know we discussed it and he inevitabely decided to not go through with the project due to the intercooler potentially making things a difficult fit. I don't know if he compared frames though...

Here is my Crew right when I got it home about a year ago. I drove it about 30 miles up a curvy highway in gold country CA. It did pretty well for having a 1/4 turn slop in the steering and I had to have my wife drive in front due to the exahust fumes. Everything in it was original and worked down to the horn.

Truck as I got it

Since then I have been doing a frame off resto mod. The frame and suspension is completed and has a 360MPI with the A518 trans installed as well as disc brakes. I will add power steering and a 30 gallon gas tank. Eveything else will remain as original as I can except maybe the seats.

The cab required all the normal rust repair like all new floors, rockers and steps along with lots of POR15.

Painted Cab

I get to paint it again now. I had issues with paint atomization on the turqoise, the white is OK. I painted lots of cars in the past that were perfectly acceptable using name brand paints. I got some cheap single stage urethane and should have practiced with it. The tech sheet said not to reduce which I thought was odd. It needs it. At least this will give me the chance to fill the original gas filler hole now that I decided to put a tank in the back. That seems to be the only option with the crew.

The multi coloured is a 64 with 71 front clip and box. Bought a 68 hood for it. The rear is a 69, really should sell it

Here's a picture of a future Cummins project. I have a 89 4x4 donor truck for it. Currently she runs and drives and is happy taking the Golden Retrievers to the creek for a weekly swim. Will get around to the swap after a couple of other projects are finished.

Some of you have seen my crew cab before, some have not. I'll try posting some before and after pix.

First day alive as a hot rod.

Freshly painted after only 2 years of running around with all that patina. Still have to install the grill, bumper, and door handles.

Pete loves the Crew!

Perkins64, I love those 300s!
wayneswirld2, seen it before, but never get tired of it.
If I had a crew, it would have to be a ute. I just can't quite handle the wavey look of the body lines with the swept bed. I'd have to find a way the smooth out that line through the doors into the bed...No easy feat!

Nice crew cab. I saw that truck in Ronan, MT about 6 years ago where the previous owner bought it and the wrecking yard.

[thembsnyder]

Powerman,

Funny thing is...I grew up and went to school in Ronan. I found this truck while I was living in TN and had is shipped to me.

Spent most of my life in the Ronan and Polson area and never saw this truck ever.
