73-87 Extended Cabs?
« on: December 28, 2006, 12:42:00 pm »
What year was the extended cab offered for this body style?  Now before you label me as a crackpot, I can say with true confidence that I have seen one.  I've been messing around with cars and trucks for over twenty-five years, so I know what I saw.  Believe me, I did a double-take and said "WTH?" when I saw it.  A farmer passed me in a brown extended cab "rounded style" truck in western Oklahoma one day while I was going home with an S10 in tow.  I wanted to follow him to get a closer look and possibly buy it, but he went straight when I had to turn.  I haven't seen it or another one since.

I think they made them for oil field companies.

From what I have seen and researched, generally the years they were made were 84-86.

I spied this today in a "salvage" yard here in Colorado.  Sorry for the bad camera phone picture. They were closed and this is all the closer I could get.

Interesting.  an extended cab crew cab.  How would one label that RPO? (ECCC, LWB, DRW)
