I have seen maybe 10,over the years.....especially at F100 Supernat's.
I don't prefer the look but loved my 78 f250 supercab.

Ford only started making factory crew cabs in 1965, however prior to that there were some conversion companies that would take trucks and make them into crew cabs. As far as the 50s go, I think that was before even the conversion companies. However, some do exist; they would all be home made, though. There are a few pictures floating around the internet, and if I'm not mistaken, a few members on here have even tried (or are currently trying) to whip some up.

I'm not going to lie. I want one, I wish I had a couple old cabs just to play around with. The pics that I have seen of some are awsome...

This one is an old rail road company cab. It was at last years Smoky Mountain F-100 Run. It only has three doors.

56 Crew Cab

That is beautiful!!! I wanted to build one about ten years ago, so I did a little research. The info I found was that 700 were build for the 'railroad'. They only had three doors. The only picture I have seen before today showed three gas tanks, two under the running boards with a filler on each side like the 53-55, and one in the cab as 56s do. If i still have the pic, I will post it in my garage--not enough posts to add attachments.
