The flags on the front fenders have me really curious.

 

She's so fine, my 409?

 

I think what your seeing is the old T-Bird double flag logo.
Kinda sorta like this one:


Least...that's my story and I'm sticken to it.

That ol panel is more rescue 8 than t bird....

 

Got a call at noon saying he'd emptied out the panel, and rolled it into position to winch it onto my trailer. Maybe tomorrow? Good thing my debit card has a 300.00 limit. That's how I know what to offer for dead trucks

 

Pictures! pictures for us vicarious ones!

 

Thought you'd never ask....... Oh and the cornbinder was his last recovery on one of the other islands. He told me about it at the grocery store the other night. This lead me to believe he might want to lose his grip on the panel. 3/4 ton 4x4 short bed? Must be rare. Also a '60 btw.

 

GB, looks like you are having WAY too much fun. Wish I could find some cool stuff like that around here........I"m a closet binder fan as well. SHHHH don't tell anybody

 

Gary thats a great score on the panel.
The binder looks to be dang straight.

 

Sweet score Gary!!! Looks like a good winter project for ya.
I too have always been an international fan since back in the day when I had 3/4 ton 73 Travelall (did I spell that right?) and learned what a line ticket was. Got corn?

No, but I got a factory diesel scout, nissan sd33t, 3.3 litre 6 cyl turbo diesel. Built 2 weeks before they closed down the plant at Ft Wayne Indiana. Last summer I got a call about a tandem axle power wagon with a hemi. Not my style, but I flipped it a week later for 2500.00 more than I paid. I knew about this one owner scout, 73,000 original miles. I saw it when it came to Orcas in 1980 (green with envy). I only had to wait him out. I stopped on the way home from selling the dodge and offered him 2500.00 , he accepted and so I returned with a battery and drove it home. And you thought I was outa control before! The reason I can do all this is because I was single for 15 years, and I bought a lot of trucks. Now I just sell one to get another. I bought the cummins converted GMC in my signature for 1000.00 from a buddy who lost his love for it. Just before we went to Hawaii last March to get married, I sold that truck for 6750.00 in front of our local grocery store. We still had almost a grand left after beach front hotels, a conch-blowing minister and a ukelele player on the beach. She still thinks this old truck thing is pretty great. Not sayin' she likes me in the shop all weekend, us newlyweds need to take a picnic now and then with the wine and the checkered tablecloth. OK, I'm off to see a man about a panel truck........That's my wife's new commuter behind the scout, an 85 MB diesel wagon, sat behind a neighbor's house for 5 years in the tall grass. Got it for a grand, another battery, and a couple of filters. Six months now and counting...............

 

It's home now.....Off with my deck over trailer at 5am tomorrow to pick up a load of beams on the mainland......The wood splitter I picked up on my way, but it gave me the first test of my winch/fairlead setup.

 

If I remember correctly the panels only came with a single drivers seat, maybe the bench was an option. I put an early 70's Cadillac 6 way at first but wore it out and went to a cheap aftermarket type buckets. Nice having the gap between the seats for extra length pieces of wood, pipe etc. Mine came loaded with chicken feathers

 

Congrats Gary, it looks right at home! The side hood emblems on my truck came off a panel. The guy would sell me the emblems but not the truck, said his son was going to restore it someday. I bet it is even deeper in the ground by now and so is the guy who sold me his son's side emblems!

 

Congrats on the panel, looks to be mostly complete. I've always liked panel trucks, and have had a few, just not a fridge. Nice looking trucks!
You're right, it's beggin' to be a 4x4.
