Remembering a program on the Discovery Channel or History, the showed an excerpt on SAC…the Strategic Air Command…and how pilots areon a constant state of alert: guys sitting around, playing cards, and the alarm goes off and they all run out to their military issue utility trucks to high-tail it to the airstrip.
I noticed that the pickups were crew cabs…that is, full sized rear doors behind the drivers’ and passenger’s side doors.
I thought the crew-cab concept was a 90’s invention…can someone link to a manufacturer’s options list of that era?
My uncle Walt had a '65 Dodge Crew Cab Power Wagon. Great truck. My father bought one in the 70’s. I used it all through high school. Those back seats are HUGE!
I too was surprised to ‘notice’ crew cabs in older model years on the road. I guess it is like buying a new car then noticing that there are tons of them on the road.
