51 or 52 Panel, Should I have left it in the bush
Hi guys, I'm a new member. Actually this is my first post. I rescued this Panel Truck from the bush where it has sat for over 30 years. It's pretty rough. I hope it's salvageable. Here is a link to photos showing where it sat, being hauled out and then how she looks in the light of day.

[QUOTE=51PanelMan;10727103]Welcome to the insanity. Looks like it's quite a project. It's a 51 and has the 5 Star Deluxe options. 52 has a different hood and trim. Can you post some pictures of the interior?
Wow, those are impressive. Something to aspire too. Thanks for clarifying that it's a 51, I didn't know how to tell. Pic 7 shows the interior a bit, it's been sitting without glass for many years, so it's in really sad shape inside ( well outside as well ) I just got it home so I haven't had a chance to see if it's seized or not yet. It's fairly complete, just really rough.
I'll post more pictures of the interior once I clean it a bit. I will post progress photos but it may get boring as it's going to be at least a 2 year project. Thanks.

You're right. Pic 7 shows the interior. I wanted to see if it still had the original "bucket" seats that came in the Panels. Yours has a bench seat from a truck. Originally, the Panel came with a driver's seat only. The passenger seat was an option.
Don't be shy about posting pictures and asking questions. We love both!
