Need to do some minor work on my 55 panel, anybody know of a source?

 

I just sold a nice panel....although you better bone up on your auto body skills on this one....LOL

 

The only place to find panel panels is from another panel. ;-)

I think this may be one of those cases that match your signature line.

 

I just sent this to Walford but what the heck if he's in Florida ........and it looks up your projects alley anyway!

Sorry Bill?

1956 ford panel

Actually the panel in the pics was a vehicle that "died" It donated its quarters for another panel.

Mich Rick,
I looked at that 56 panel back in July or August, it was worse than the 55 I parted out!

 

Make it into a woodie? Raise the roof and widen it, so it's more practical for camping.

On the '57 to '60 panels, the Styleside bed side may replace most of the panel side. I saw an old stock bed side (QPFS-45) on eBay, and it was claimed to fit both pickup and panel.

 

A perfect candidate for a section and chop! I'd love to do a panel that ended up about 4' tall, that would be so cool.

 

would this be the look you'd be after Chuck

 

That's pretty close. Looks like they used another idea I've thought about, using a flatter roof skin from a later model truck to lower the roofline a couple more inches. I don't much like the bar grill and squared headlights though, makes it look like a Chevy.

 

Yeah, the grille looks like it would fit right into a 67-72 C10. There certainly was a lot of metal work done to it. I'd like to try something like that myself but it would have to be on a real beater cause I'd hate to ruin a gem, specilly with the limited skills I posess.

 

I think my skills would be up to it, but I'm not going to cut up Gracie and I don't have the funds to start another one right now. Now if someone wanted to put up the funding...

 

Talk Bigwin into selling you the panel and we will talk. I will bring it down to you!

 

I can't afford another panel. If you want me to build one for you Kevin, let's go!

 

Ok What do you want for the panel the way it sits?

 

Kevin, something a little more solid (or at least all there) might be a better starting point...
