Panel trucks/suburbans/deliverys/vans/ what have you got ?

I'm starting with this:


And trying to turn it into this:


Right now it looks like this:


Rebuilding the floors has been harder than I thought. The rockers were completely gone so the whole side has to be redone.
One of he guys in hte club said "Knitting a car is hard.". I agree.

 

my daily driver/hauler........230 6cyl, 3 spd o/d manual on the tree and it can haul a washer and drier upright (with room to spare). was looking for a 40's/50's panel but couldn't find one in my price range that didn't need MAJOR work.

 

It's not too hard to figure out what we have!

 

Here is my 52 Ford Panel, I use it as a shop truck, it's got tons of room in it.
I can even fit 4x8 sheets of plywood in it and still close the back doors.
Also ideal for camping.
OOPS, sorry it's not a Chevy.

 

the only photo I have of my fathers 40 chevy delivery.. which he has owned since 1974?
its been off the road since 1999 or so.. I am hoping to talk him into less 80's wheels next time..

 

HAHA...This thread is 3 years old.

But, since ya asked...My Blurb

Well, I know it's a little new for this board, but here's my '71 Chevy Suburban (h)ambulance. It's a strong runner with a 350/TH350/posi combo.

65 Chev. panel ran 350 / 400 with duel quad offy ,sold it in /97 .
1965 Dodge A100 van is my daily driver , slant six ,three in the tree lowered , fun to drive !

 

Mine that I hope to finish one day.

 

That Icecream Truck is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Here is my panel. Can't put much in it, but it will get you there fast enough.

 

Here is the old 58 chevrolet sedan delivery I don't have anymore.Why did I sell it???

The other is my work car a 06 hhr.

 

here's my 65 daily. hauls all i need. pulls strong. rides like a caddy. parts are cheap and plentiful.

 

Here's my 57 burb,not much to look at right now.Plan to go with a cummins 6bt turbo diesel /allison tranny.lowered with bags

 

1949 UPS truck all aluminum body on a 100 inch wheel base has a 401 buick nail head. cute little bugger. I was going to build it for a swap meet/ work truck. gave it to a young guy over a year ago and it's still here

 

here's a 43 year younger me and my 46 sedan delivery ran a flat motor with a 39 trans with 26 tooth zeypher gears. around 1964

 

If that's a legit UPS truck, it's very, very rare: they have always had a policy of crushing their retired vehicles, so no other companies could buy them and confuse customers.

Very, very cool truck. I always thought a truck like that would make a great swap meet wagon/out of town camper type deal.

Here's a pic of our little ride after the tree fell on it

 

Here's my project
48 Dodge
40 ford windshield
smoothed frontend
hope to finish soon.

 

I love the vans. I'm working on a van project right now. Something a little newer though. I'll have pictures up when she is finished. Definitely going to be "something else"

 

it still has the UPS brown paint and gold leaf pin stripes. The person I talked to about it said "he didn't know how it got out of the system but that body was used from 49-54. has skylights and a low entry step and wide door in the rear (half the width of the truck)
The youngster I gave it to. plans on a new chassis running a rebuilt 5 cylinder mercedes engine and trans that he has. he also wants to polish the whole truck like an Airstream trailer. that's what dreams are for

 

This will be my next project after the 'Burb is finished...........
