What is a Custom Cab?Before the 1990s, it was rare to see a "double cab" pickup in the USA. If you did see one, it had been brought up from Mexico. For some reason small truck makers didn't think there was a market for small crew cab trucks in the US. Even after a great deal of writing in the automotive press in the 1980s about how small trucks were replacing cars as the vehicle of choice because of their low-cost and great gas mileage. But, when you search the web for "double cab" you can find 4-door small trucks going back to the late 1970s in every country but the US. Why?
In the late 1970s domestic truck makers like Ford and Chevy were cranking-out 4-door crew cab trucks with 350 cid and 455 cid V8 engins. Although Chevy offered an in-line 6 cyl, the word "econmical" couldn't be used to describe the gas mileage.
Seeing a niche market that needed to be filled, a company called Fabco licenced out a Toyota-approved process for making extended cab pick-ups that could seat 5 people. The trucks were bought at a local dealer, by a customer, and then the dealer would send the trucks to the "stretch shop" to the tune of $5000.A mighty expensive option when you consider that the truck's original cost was between $8,000 to $12,000. The modification called a "Custom Cab" was performed on Toyota regular cab trucks from about 1976 to 1988.
