I have a 56 panel. I am just starting to work on it. I should say thinking about what to do with it. I am in ther process of finishing a 51 ford F6. I have also started on a 52 f1. I am not sure what I want to do with the panel. I have the front clip off and sandblasted & primered. I just want to finish one of the ones I have already started.

Gracie looks great. Mine is just in primer. I did finish building a 351 cleveland out of a 84 ford f-150. My dad started the project, but has seemed to now have lost interest. I really like the old trucks better, so I might just sell this one.

Panel nation. I have a '55 panel. I don't know what this has to do with the original question on this thread, but we panelistas have to speak up when we can!

Paul: I'm interested in talking with Ford Panel owners, as I have recently acquired a 1959 Panel and am planning to change some things on it. Any info you have on customizing or upgrading, I would be truly interested. Thanks.

1957 panel.
223 six, 3 on the tree.
Tragically it has the (ugly) 1960 grille.
Had been converted to 4x4 when I got it, with what looked like the correct 59/60 front and rear axles, but with a 1971 transmission with married transfer case. I kept the springs but swapped in the axles from an M100, so it still rides a little high and stiff.

Hey guys, I just ran out of things to do on Moby and his "mission" ended. Mrs. Krautwolf was never terribly fond of Moby, either. (When will that thing be finished?) New project vehicle is a 1963 P*nt#@c Safari wagon. Try to understand - I grew up in a Ford family in Dearborn and GM products were absolutely verboten, so I'm satsfying my curiosity now at age 47. I haven't even told my 88 year-old 34-year Ford employee father about it! I am still a loyal Ford owner with my the '91 Explorer with 240K on the original engine and an '04 T-Bird. Am amazed and delighted at the renewed interest in panel trucks and will continue to enjoy FTE. Finally I'm a PO (previous owner) now. Hope I won't be the subject of much scorn!
