Crew cabs are nothing new:

From Wikipedia article about IH:
"The Travelette was a crew cab, available in 2 or 4 wheel drive. It was available starting in 1957, and was the first 6-passenger, 4-door truck of its time."

The travellall was way more popular than the Suburban back in the 60s and 70s. Another 4 door, 6 passenger truck built on the 1/2 and 3/4 Ton chassis.

Plenty of space for six?  I haven't actually tried putting
a carseat in the back of an extended/plus/club cab, but I don't
think it would work well.
 In 98 you could get the little suicide doors, same
 time as the 24V engine came in.  (Rotary IP rather than the
 bombproof inline of the last 12V's.)

And the price goes up too.  I'll stick with the 12V Cummins.  If
I get one at all. :)

 Yup, it's a crapshoot.  Continuous service records from a Ford
 dealership are usually a good sign.

On a <$3,000 beater farm truck.  What are the chances of
_that_!?  *sigh*
