There is a pic of a single cab that has been stretched, carrying a 356 Speedster in a recent issue of Registry. I also recall a factory photo of a single cab being used to transport bodies from one building to another.

'73-'75 is best, the tail end is structurally able to bear the weight of the engine w/o any reinforcement. BTDT, more than once. Earlier models have a thin sheetmetal panel held in with 4 bolts and 8 sheet metal screws ............... The Cap'n

Yeah I know...if I did an early one it would need a rear engine mount that I would tie into the tow hitch that I would have to fabricate......be fun making it though...it's amazing how much I've learned destroying the last three or four cars I've had.

My cab might just be on the road again next month....Frank....6 weeks. Manfred....hey it still runs and I get the shifter rod in it next week so I can actually find fourth and fifth w/o having a heart attack....

I'll make ya a hell of a deal on the bus body we pulled the 2.4 out of. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)



Oh, yeah, you said no rust.....never mind. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)




BTW, come up to where I store my tubs. Single cabs, double cabs, doors on both sides, pretty much anything you want. Some have rust, some not. Bring money. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)


Oh yeah, he just brought in a Chevy Greenbriar the other day. Corvair motor in a van. Runs good. Very different.

Ever try to restore or paint a splitty? Do one (the right way) and you'll know what I'm talking about.

They are going way up in value and they are expensive to restore.
