  6. wow, I finally have seen another one. I have a 57 lcf, that is in getting paint and body.. home soon. I mounted the cab on a 1980 Chevy 1 ton, rolling chassis.. they sure are kool looking. oh ya, I flatened the floor so I could fit my big feet in there, and the engine is mounted behind the cab... soon I will learn how to put up pics...Lloyd
     
  7. Is the late 80's crossmember as simple as a bolt-on, or do you have to make spacers?

    I need at least a 19.5 wheel to look proportional I believe... The tire is currently 30 inches tall... I think I need a 33 or 34. Here's another cool lcf..

    The truck is already mounted on an 80's frame so this is a direct bolt in.. to use the cross member on the original frame would have taken modification... They are close in width though..

    Lookin' good cowoc58! My buddy Andrew and I did the work on this one for rockin rebel on here:

    We had to change the roof because the rear corners of the cab were banged up pretty bad from a tilt deck that was on the original frame, and mice had been living in the roofs inner structure and it was rusted from the inside, plus the big back window looks way cooler! We mounted the cab on an '80s GM 1 ton frame that was already stretched and had the flat deck already. I heard that this truck was getting body work recently but I haven't seen it in a couple of years.

  21. No, LCF was a term used by Chevy when these trucks were new. It is a old term and there is a difference between a LCF and a COE.
     
  22. I think that's what I said...:confused: It's what I meant anyway. ;)

    Big Bertha looks to have had a pretty hefty budget... I wish the fleet side wasn't cut off... That's a great idea... I love the big wheels... Thanks for posting that...
