Question How many super-cabs?

How would I go about finding out how many 67-72 supercabs were built? Standard cabs are a dime a dozen around here, and I've seen a number of crew cabs before, but I don't remember ever seeing a 67-72 supercab until I saw a '71 for sale last weekend. Are they rare or have I just not been paying attention?

None.

SuperCabs appeared in '74.

I have never seen a super cab of this vintage. Are you sure it wasn't a custom job? That's a popular mod for old trucks on the hotrod circuit. Any pics?

Well, at least its not that I just haven't been paying attention, LOL. I'll have to go back and look closer as opposed to just driving by. No, no pics. Sorry. Thanks for the info.

Yeah but the SuperCab was a lot bigger in the back compared to the Club Cab.

SuperCab came out in Mid '74 while the Club was '73.

Supercabs were not too popular at the time. It took awhile for them to catch onNow its rare to see a regular cab anymore.

I went back and got out of the truck and actually looked at the supercab in question today and, of course, BB is right. This one is a '75. Funny the things you think you see when you are breezing along at 10 over on your way to somewhere else!

Thanks for the info all.

So the supercabs were like extended cabs and the club/crew cabs are the 4doors. The supercabs had the one piece extra side window. Am I right?

The Dodge Club Cab was a 2-door extended cab like the SuperCab. Here's a '74 Adventurer (sorry about that)

Yes, I recall the first one I saw was just like the one ^above^ in a lovely shade of brindle green.

Merriam-Webster suddenly had a new definition for the word UGLY.

Not sure about this, but I thought I remember hearing that Datsun (Nissan) was the first to come up with the extended cab concept. They called it King Cab.
