Anyone looking for a crew cab?
Found this on the old list that Craig made. If I had the money and any conceivable need (much less the space) for this truck, I would be driving to pick it up rather than posting this. The asking price of $6500 seems a bit steep to me considering they do not have the title in hand (but claim to have the necessary lien paperwork to get one), but there are not that many of these things out there. Hopefully this helps somebody searching for a crew. If not, more truck **** for the rest of us.

Looks like it used to be a motorhome judging by the way the rear window is and how it it is technically a 3 door, also the bed floor and the rear bumper screams camper. I have never actually seen one in person but have seen a lot of ads in old magazines that were these crew cab trucks with campers built on them. Just a thought.

Interesting mix of stuff. Has "Custom Cab" chrome bits on the doors, but isn't (no chrome door handle guards and plain dash). Extra roof added on top of the regular cab, not nicely grafted together. However they did a really nice job of tucking the rear door hinges inside the door (aftermarket rear doors usually have external hinges). Really oddly install odd rear window (yes, this screams camper). This one seems to be a home-built crewcab, not from a custom builder like Crown who built my '64 F100 CrewCab. I like it though! But, then again, I am partial to old Ford CrewCabs!

Back in the day, there were a lot of 'custom' conversions as there were no factory crew cabs.
And this is analagous to the funeral car industry, and I'd be willing to bet that a few companies would do both conversions.
A decently equipped body shop could easily do this conversion with two cabs, note the panel in between doors, this is to hide and provide room for the hinges.
The awkward roof hints at the same thing.
As to the 'Custom Cab' nameplates, well, I've been known to add a personal touch or three to various of my vehicles, and it's been almost 60 years...things happen.
