Not sure how rare but still interesting.

Im curious of the actual correctness... if it was true crew or a custom.
If you think for a second, that they would have used clamshell style doors without a post in between them, you need your common sense recalibrated. that thing has the structural integrity of a slinky.

Well yes that seemed odd to me but my brain has always needed recalibrated

Kinda neat, but I'd hurt myself if I tried to drive it. That point on the roof between the doors, that's a noggin buster right there.

It's got a mighty fine set of gold Moroso valve covers though.

I'm thinking the one originally linked was a custom job. The rear doors look to be not as wide as the one you found.

I think they modified the original and made it into a suiside door (a waste of a good cab in my opinion). GM made these crew cabs for the mining, Forestry and construction industries. They are very rare.

NO doubt that's a custom butcher job. Taking that post out, they destroyed it. Nothing more than a deathtrap for sure now.
