    Exterior and interior shots as well as some history.

    Here's Clarence. I bought it in February of 1973.

    2003 racing Denise (@hotrodladycrusr) at the first HAMB drags at MoKan; note the she could have pulled 3 plug wires and still had more motor than Clarence had:

    Late '90s, found this nice running/driving (but rusty) '56 Chevy Panel for $500. Learned a lot about metal work on this one.

    Hello,


    Several years ago, this two tone green/black Chevy panel truck was always on the road. We would see it all over the coastal areas. But, for some reason, it has been missing for quite some time. Then last week, it was seen on the roadway and in an industrial area of a local city. It is a showpiece for the Classy Chevy USA Company that has a nice website and business.

    The owner of the business had finished several other trucks and various types of Chevy Panel Vans and has a good following on Chevy parts and sales. https://www.classychevusa.com/

    Jnaki

    The owner is a nice guy and the place has a good reputation for all kinds of parts. Check them out.

    He helped me identify some old Chevy parts, how they worked on the truck and gave me some ideas on old Chevy Trucks in the USA.

    Funny you should say that.
    Back window is heavier than nuts and supports are gone, so the crutch works….

    Did I mention heavy? :eek:

    Sectioned and Channeled, used then abused. Left for Dead then tried to be brought back by a few unqualified dreamers. Last found by our own Spooky here and landed in my hands. Good solid bones, will consider Re Homing it, not just For Sale. You'd have to love it to take it on.
     
  24. Clam shell rear doors. Seem to be more on the Suburbans, but can be put on both panels and Subs.

    I posted these on another Sub/panel thread. But, here's mine.
