Shoulda used Burb rear doors.

Yup. Or done SOMETHING with that space.

He's deep into the crack pipe on the price too.

But its CUSTOM!

A guy on an S10 forum started to make a first gen S10 crew cab, a couple years ago. He was melding the front of a four-door Blazer to the back of a pick-up cab. He's since given up on it though, and he's at this point:

I believe it's for sale.

yeah a Burban donor with a cab wall welded on would've made a much better cab.

McFly, you didn't tell me this car had a blind spot!

There were companies around that built those conversions, complete with the second row of front doors. That's probably not a homebuilt conversion.

Dead Skunk's got it, I don't recall the Mfr.

I don't know if Chevy did theirs or farmed it out.

The Mopar forums are all excited about this: http://www.motortrend.com/auto_shows/sema/2012/1210_icon_dodge_d200_pickup/

A couple years ago, I saw an El Camino that they did this to. they took a second set of front doors, windshield, etc, and put it on backwards, suicide style, and it was awesome looking.. aside from being 7 miles long.

I'd like to take a Suburban, cut at the B Pillar, and graft that behind my crew cab long bed. Make for a 6 door suburban.

In reply to DILYSI Dave:

Funny, I want to take my crew cab pickup, replace the cab with a standard cab, and make a two piece bed, with the front portion stationary and the rear being a standard 8" bed that dumps.

A friend of mine did almost that with his mid '90's crew cab longbed Ford.

Ditched the crew cab and put a single cab on it... though he just welded two beds together initially rather than a split bed to make a super extendo crap hauler.

It's got a flatbed on it now.

IHC made a Travellall with four doors and a really short bed for awhile. IIRC, it was mostly made so those pulling a gooseneck trailer could squire the family about in comfort.

I've got everything I need to do it except time. I have to admit thought, that my main motivation is that my crew cab is very rusty and I can't find a clean one. Otherwise, I'd just re-cab it.

Yeah that truck was converted when it was new most likely. The reason they didn't use suburban doors is suburbans of that body style don't have a drivers side back door. There are actually better looking custom conversions now, but that is all you could get when those trucks were new.

Really? Passenger side door only, like a van? Weird!

I had to google it, too.

Yes. I had a Chevy Topkick crewcab that I bought from the City of Atlanta. They bought it new, and it had the weird looking rear doors that were actually second set of front doors. The odd looks lured me to bid. I thought it was a great deal with only 67k miles for $4k.

Bigggest piece of junk I ever owned. It would literally rattle itself to death. I think it was the only truck I would not keep long enough to take a picture of. You could be going down the road and watch screws back themselves out, or every few miles a mystery nut or bolt, would drop to the floor, out from under the dash, like some magical spitting hardware dispenser.

Left side of an early Suburban.

I did not know they built them that way. Weird.

Chevy etc made LOOOONG Suburbans for airport limos.

International Harvester version used in the movie 'Dog Day Afternoon'.

Growing up, family friends of ours had 13 (yes, THIRTEEN!) kids. They owned something very similar to the Suburban Airport limo
