Any 50's 1 ton long wheel base panels out there?
1 have a 51 long bed with the factory 17 inch split rims. Had it for 20 years. Just wondering if anyone else has one.

NO, but they are way cool. I kick myself because I passed on a 59 1 ton long panel about 10 years ago, was a good working carpet installers truck that was moving out of state. Good price, just did not have room in the herd.

Re: Any 50's 1 ton long wheel base panels out there?
We can't have em (and keep em) all but Lord knows we try...
I have very good memories of my life in Idaho, 1974 to 1976 (Air Force). My sis lives in Sun Valley. I just bought a 77 short step 4X4 in Portland that I'm going to fly out and drive home. Hopefully I'll detour thru Idaho and visit her. |

Re: Any 50's 1 ton long wheel base panels out there?
I had a 54 3804 truck. Bought it for parts for my 3600. Wish I had kept it.
My buddy has a 3800 panel that he bought for his antique business. It has a 250 swapped in place of the 216. He puts a coughin in the back at Halloween. Great for some laughs. |

Yep, Mt. Home AFB. Rode my suzuki TM 250 all over that desert.
Thanks for the offer, it may be awhile before I can get out there to get the 77. |

Re: Any 50's 1 ton long wheel base panels out there?
Actually, I know where there's one (a AD) for sale if anyone's interested.
A guy near me who restores old farm tractors and sells them has one. He's not an internet savvy kinda guy, so no CL ad or anything to show. I get by there about once a week, so I could take pics and get his phone number if anyone's interested. It's in Fincastle, VA 24090. I've only seen it driving by, but it looks in excellent un-restored condition from 20 feet away. I never had any interest in it just because I don't like the long wheelbase. If there's interest, I'll be over that way in a week or so.

Re: Any 50's 1 ton long wheel base panels out there?
so sad. that panel is the poster child for why you should not use spray foam to insulate/sound deaden a truck

Re: Any 50's 1 ton long wheel base panels out there?
I used to drive my '47 1 ton panel every day, now I look at it every day and start it up a few times a year. It is a beast to drive, but I have gone 80mph on the highway.

Re: Any 50's 1 ton long wheel base panels out there?
I have had a 1957 for the past 16 years and have made poor progress. The original plan was to do an IFS swap and make it a daily driver but I think that has sailed and I am leaning towards an adventure van. Here is a pic from the day we brought her home.
