Well, Ron looks like you are schooling us all because I am with David - I have always been of the belief that crew cabs came from one or two companies, Stageway and Armbruster and as far as I ever know, no one else. The link to the 67-72 site shows a lot of pics, but I did not see any info to say Orrville, Crown or Proctor made these for GM buyers. Not sure, but if everyone agrees, I guess this is new information the group may collectively adopt as fact? I will back off and wait to see the weigh in from the longer time members ....always good to learn new info if its provably correct
