pls post pixs of 67-72 Panels

[Sublvr72]

I finally made it home to find the panel off loaded from the transport truck. Here she is on the ground.

Now the fun starts. Does it run and drive?

[Sublvr72]

yeah, barely. The carb is way out of whack, but it does move under its own power. I am going to pull the carb and intake off and replace it with a 4bbl.

Here is my 69 GMC panel....in all its rusty glory!!

[olblue60@aol.com]

Looks like a builder !!

[Sublvr72]

nice, I think that's the first GMC Panel I've seen

[panelguy]

Yup, its pretty tuff! Looks like its been "fixed" before with some fiberglass. Lots of rust. I havent done much to it, just swapped the front suspension to the 71 disc brakes and 5 bolt wheels. Thats about it. its in a long line of projects. I'm still waiting for my money tree to bloom too.

Now that you mention it Sublvr I dont think I've seen any GMC panels either. I should check the vin and make sure it is.

Heres my 70'

Thats not a photo shop. Fantastic job on the body mods. It took me a couple of minutes to appreciate alllll the mods and alllll of the hours spent!! Awsome Panel !

I hardly noticed, Welcome to the board as well!

Have you done anything inside?

[Sublvr72]

wow, interesting build on that panel. What was it to begin with? It's got pickup doors on it, was it originally a shortbed?

[big blue 72]

jgb - That panel looks S A W E E T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got any interior pics?
How long have you owned it? what kind of shape was it in when you got it?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
Awesome work man!

[jgb7038]

Sublvr72,good eye,most people miss that. It was actually a long bed pick up when I started.

that is beautiful!!

[Sublvr72]

wow, very nice. I see alot of work went into the build on that. Was the back section from a suburban?

[jgb7038]

Thanks Sublvr72,and as far as the sub parts go,yes, a good part of the upper rear is burb,but it is set down over the shortened pick up bed. The truck has a stock shortbed wheel base now. My build pics were taken before I got a digital camera,but Im going to try and scan some of them so I can post a couple, its easier to understand how it all fits together in the pictures.

[Sublvr72]

very nice, I would love to see those. The majority of my suburban pics were on film as well, I've only scanned a few so far.

here's a few recent ones of my panel

[jgb7038]

Looks like a nice solid panel you have there.Dont find too many in that good of shape around here.

Man, I go away for a couple of days of work and all sorts of cool panels show up! This thread is getting pretty awesome.

panelguy-wow that is some project you got on your hands. I think there is one other gmc panel on this thread 'round post #12 a tough looking blue one. But yours may win a contest for the toughest beginnings.

Sublvr, yours has cleaned up pretty good but there is some work lurking under that fiberglass eh?!

And jgb7038-holy cow man that panel is frigg'n awesome nice job! Love the short panel look and like the guys are saying looks like a lot of work went into it and it came out great! thanks for posting and I'd be happy to see more from the scanned build pics.

jgb's Panel is very cool! Nicely done, IMO.

I've always kinda wondered what one would look like with truck doors-that kind of fabbing would be way above my skill lever-but I think it would be cool to do that, and then shave the drip rail from the door back, and add just a little drip rail to follow the curve of the rear of the door, down maybe 4 or 6 inches or so.

Here's another picture of my '68

[robb67]

Pritch, I think you may have the nicest "before" picture I have seen.
What the heck made you rip into it?

[DakotaSpeed]

This is a 1969 Panel, with 1972 5 bolt running gear. 350 GM Crate Motor, TH350 and lowered front and rear. 17" wheels, Mild custom.

[Sublvr72]

That's really clean! I'm digging the red

[olblue60@aol.com]

Hey Tim,
If that was you creating this sticky, Thanks from all the panel guys!!

[Sublvr72]

+1 Thanks
