Seen a few...one in Southern California, i spoke with the guy. He actually made a 4 door truck. Took a spare cab, cut the back off, just behind the doors, did the same on the other cab, put them back to back and welded tehm together. Then chopped off the front of the rear cab, put the back on there, and welded it. The rear door window openings were made square by using parts of extra doors to do them. Looked very good, very unique. Also seen just the cab extended, use extra doors for belt line and window opening, and fab new roof to cover the extended part, was extended about 8 inches. Either way, looked very cool. I'll try to find some pix to show.

There is a 40/41 modified into a fourdoor crew cab in a back issue of Street Rodder magazine. I think I also saw it in Classic Truck magazine. I will try to find and scan it to post soon. I remember the owner was in the armed services living in Massachusetts.

Here's some photo's you might want to look through at the Carnut Site .
Page 9 of the pre '49 has a 1937 Ford Crew Cab that's been chopped. I believe the 37's had similar cabs to the 40-41's. I would imagine the older fords like the 34 on page 30 would be much easier to work with since their cabs are more squared off.
I'd also like to see that 40/41 modified fourdoor crew cab Dan mentioned.

Now we are getting somewhere. Chop the top 3-4 inches or 4-5 and you got something. Thanks Dan,and I agree Carlene, it needs front end parts but thats the only crew cab Ive ever seen. Maybe theres more-sure want to build one. Bob

I knew I had seen a picture of the 41 three door with the nose on it. Took awhile but finally found it on my P.C. hardrive. Put in the same gallery.
The name given in the magazine is Randy Johnston of Leominster, Mass.
