when was the first extended cab truck made
Pickup truck A regular cab has a single row of seats and a single set of doors, one on each side. Extended or super cab pickups add an extra space behind the main seat, sometimes including small seats. The first extended cab truck in the U.S. was called the Club Cab and introduced by Chrysler in 1973 on Dodge trucks. A crew cab, or double cab, seats five or six and has two full-size front-hinged doors on both sides. The first crew cab truck in the U.S. was made by International Harvester in 1957 and was later followed by Dodge in 1963, Ford in 1965 and Chevrolet in 1973.
Chevrolet Silverado The Chevrolet Silverado, and its mechanically identical cousin, the GMC Sierra, are a series of full-size and heavy-duty pickup trucks manufactured by General Motors and introduced in 1998 as the successor to the long-running Chevrolet C/K line. The Silverado name was taken from a trim level previously used on its predecessor, the Chevrolet C/K pickup truck from 1975 through 1998. General Motors continues to offer a GMC-badged variant of the Chevrolet full-size pickup under the GMC Sierra name, first used in 1987 for its variant of the GMT400 platform trucks.
