The panel project is one I started a couple years ago, but just haven't had time to work on it. I used a 73 Highboy chassis with a 400+hp 460 with a C-6 and Warn overdrive, and 37" tires/wheels. I call it my Mall crawler.......lol

Morning Pat!

I was going to sit mine on top of the f 350 4x4 frame I have here. A friend gave me a 312 for it, so being it's almost all factory, and a low mileage truck, I probably should do it that way.
Not a lot of panels left around here, they all got beat to death

I truly LOVE my panel......I've had it built twice before, but this will be the final build. I gave my brother a case of Budweiser for it in 1974.............lol

That would be something! I can just imagine what guys would say if they walked in the shop and found two panel projects at the same time!

I would, but this truck is one that the motor threw a rod at 2 years old, and was parked in a barn until I got it last year.
It even smells new when you open the door.

Yup, that one should remain stock........

I've had mine for over 40 years and want to build something really radical out of it...
