Every pickup truck sold in the U.S. today can be configured as a four-door crew cab but it wasn’t long ago that crew cabs were few and far between. The 1996 Ford Adrenalin concept truck helped change that.

I do remember when my dad's truck was one of 2 crew-cabs within like 3 cities. It's an 93 F-350 Crewcab-long bed. It's been used for everything under the sun, still running strong.

I had a '91 F350 CC Dually. That's back when only us racers had 'em. What was weird was that it had power windows up front, but the rear were manual roll -ups.
Darn tough truck, ran the daylights out of it dragging a 40' 5th wheel.

Kind of quiet between the holidays and have some down time. Recently ran across these articles from 6 or so years ago and found it interesting on how the SVT picked up and developed ideas from the canceled Adrenalin sport trac and put them into one of their next marketed projects; our Raptors.
Check out these articles if you haven't seen them or for a refresher:

What immediately jumped out was the front side vents and seats with orange down middle. Other similarities are rims/ instument cluster/ driver arm rest controls. Truck history buffs enjoy!

I owned a 1978 Crew Cab, like this one. Had a 460 4V in it.

Yep, We had one almost just like that with a cap on the back. Hit the gas and open the 4 barrel and you could practically watch the gas gauge go down on that sucker

Those things are badass! Get a f350 CC dually, drop in a 7.3 power stroke and you've got an epic truck.
