Rare 62 Factory Built Crew Cab?
Not sure about the truth behind it, but it looks good...and they kept the 305 V6 in it.

Not a 1-1/2 ton body Also not 1-1/2 ton axles (wrong rims...) Someone can correct me if I am wrong (which I probably am) but I thought all the crew-cabs (and other extensions) were made by an outside source, none were GMC factory. I have to agree with some of the comments... that engine needs help. It looks to be a decent job of rodding it... but beyond that I doubt the story that goes with it. And to suggest it was one of 6 that got the 305... uhhh... no....

Re: Rare 62 Factory Built Crew Cab?
No Crew Cabs were factory built.
Which Railroad was it built for? it does not say, but from what the rest of it is saying about it being one of six, and it having the V6, and Canadian, it may be just a lot of messed up facts that over time because the story the owner wants. Canadian truck were just Chevy clones, and if you had a V6 it was an import from the states. if it was built for the railroad, most likely one of the Canadian lines, and being one of six, well most likely they ordered six of them that year, and they came fomr one of the US Builders, and they offered them with the factory engine, the V6. Also the 9 foot bed was used on one ton trucks. That truck has been around for a while, i seen it years ago in a magazine. I think it was for sale at one time on ebay as well.

Re: Rare 62 Factory Built Crew Cab?
I was told that truck was a clone and not made by Stageway (external company to GM who made all the crew cab trucks) at all - he combined two cabs and did all the customizing in a shop somewhere. Seems like there was no Stageway metal ID tag anywhere on it, and that is the only way to prove one is real.

Re: Rare 62 Factory Built Crew Cab?
the only real difference between the us and canadian built was the motor. nobody is cloning anything. time to get over that.
there were coach builders in both the us and canada that made the c/cab bodies and another falsehood is that they were just made for the railroad. if you had the change in your pocket, you could order one. there were lots that were ordered for the logging industry and I imagine if you wanted a larger truck with a crewcab that could have been arranged same as for Napco installation in a larger truck ron think of this; one didn't need an adaptor to put an automatic trans in a canadian built GMC but you had to in a us built one |

Re: Rare 62 Factory Built Crew Cab?
"nobody is cloning anything. time to get over that".
Q: WHAT? NOBODY IN AMERICA OR CANADA IS CLONING ANYTHING? THAT'S A GOOD ONE! "there were coach builders in both the us and canada that made the c/cab bodies" Q: WHAT COACH BUILDERS OTHER THAN STAGEWAY OR ARMBRUSTER ARE YOU REFERRING TO SPECIFICALLY? DO YOU HAVE DOCUMENTATION SHOWING ANOTHER COACH BUILDER MADE CREW CABS SOLD ON GM LOTS OR WHAT SOURCE ARE YOU QUOTING "think of this; one didn't need an adaptor to put an automatic trans in a canadian built GMC but you had to in a us built one" Q: NO AUTOMATIC TRANS ADAPTOR ON A GMC V6 ENGINE INSTALLED IN CANADA? - THAT IS A NEW ONE ON ME - HOW BOUT THE REST OF YOU? ANYONE AGREE?

Canadian GMC,s are not clones of Chevrolet If you do a little research you will find that there were considerable coach builders and if you are going to quote someone read the statement and understand it before you put your foot in it. ron |
