club cab short bed pics

So I've been thinking of peicing together a project truck. I have a one ton frame. I can get a club cab for cheap and I got a spare bed that I could shorten. Just an idea.

show me your pictures!

I can't recall seeing a club-cab short bed newer than '79? Seems to me most were '74 to '76. I could be wrong though. Easy enough to build your own, old style ('80 and earlier) or newer style ('81-'93). If my crew project was much farther along I'd have a '93 Club Cab for you.

johny5, your crew turned out real nice. I'm thinking of two-toning mine, that 300C vanilla white on top and copperhead(?) on the sides - but that's a long ways off!

By my extened-crew cab calculations... Shouldn't a club cab short box fit a regular cab long box frame??

Yes and as its been mentioned by some senior members here when I asked the question. The floor on the extended cab frame juts up earlier than the frame on a crew cab. Two ways to fix this; 1st, use a body lift and second modify the floor of the crew cab to accomodate the frame. I went with option 2, and notched the floor in my crew cab.

78 Club Cab Shortbed

This my 78 CC with a short box. I think it has a wheel base 2or3 inches longer than my 90 reg cab long box. I can check thewheel base tomorrow.

There is someone on here with a white 2wd club cab shortbed. For some reason I think it's a p-pump truck. Could be wrong though.

1981 dodge crew cab

I am new to this and saw this site on the dodge crew cab. I am currently holding a 1981 thinking I could rebuild it to a nice truck. I started this adventure only to find I can not find parts for the rear doors. Does anyone out there have any clues where I might find parts for the rear door. i.e. glass. Any help would be nice.... thanks in advance....

Check out this guy. I am inspired by the interior, I don't think mine will have any diamond plate, but still a nice looking truck.
