Art & Inspiration Let's see some panel trucks

I've contributed to a few threads on this that and the other, colours, chops etc etc however I haven't come across a specific 'Panel truck' / body style thread. I've searched and was unable to locate one, sedan deliveries but no trucks

 

1934 Dodge, what a great looking truck!
A sedan delivery I guess.



This is a 34 Dodge "humpback" panel.




I don't see these much nowadays, used to be a guy that was a customer at the machine shop where I worked in the 70's that had one of these late 30's Dodge panels.
At the time I thought they were kind of an odd looking duck but they have grown on me (just) a little.

 

Here’s mine. I was skinnier in 1978

 

Our TV repairman {remember them?} had both of those style panels before he ended up with a Dodge Tradesman van. This would have been in the mid 60's. He went from a 53-56, to a 59 or 60, to the Dodge. He still had the Dodge when he died in the 70's, his son used it until the 90's when he got out of the repair business!

 

Built this Chevy or my wife a few years ago...and then a guy from Long Island offered "stupid money" ...and I sold it out from under her

 

I have files of pics, ones from the internet and ones for sale (most I have looked at). Then the ones I've owned and ones I still own.


Here's mine.

Here's one I've seen at local swap meets over the years.

Someone else’s photo, from here on the Hamb.....I think it is a panel ?

 

Hello,

Having owned two 1940 Ford Sedan Deliveries, there is a difference between the smaller sedan deliveries and the LARGER PANEL TRUCKS. We noticed the difference during our searches for the smaller sedan delivery hot rods. The larger panel trucks will hold a surfboard quite well. You can even stuff all of your camping/cooking gear with a cooler/refrigerator in the back. The sedan delivery is definitely smaller and can hold the modern day short surfboard, but will feel crowded with a mattress, camping gear, cooking stove and a cooler.

The larger panel truck definitely has space advantage, but the smaller sedan deliveries have a definite driving stance and handling advantage.

Our choice was always the sedan delivery, but sometimes we had wished we had more space, with all of the carry on stuff, that went along for a two week to a month vacation on a long coastal cruise.

The panel van obviously has an advantage for space issues, but one thing it does have is a bigger blind spot on the right side (passenger) rear quarter area. That blind spot is awful and was the cause for my wife to not like the smaller sedan delivery while driving at night. That blind spot just did not make driving fun and exciting. It was like the fugitive always looking over their shoulder for someone following them… YRMV

 

Here is mine. 66 Chevy with a GMC hood.
Going up for sale tomorrow.

A couple I "borrowed' from somewhere...

 

Think I can save this one?

 

Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time...but there WERE some serious repercussions...if you know what I mean

 

You slept on the couch, didn’t you. [emoji6]

LMAO Yeah, I'm on the couch quite often...currently residing there now...over the newly purchased Jasper 302 Ford, for the Cabriolet

 

Didn’t anyone ever tell you that it’s not a good idea to make a woman angry? EVER.
