Panel truck eye candy - Give us some

I love the Mercedes that Hans posted in post #8. Very classy!

Mercury panels are cool - This one's a '49er

 

And this one is not quite a wagon, not quite a panel, not quite a pickup, so I guess it would be called a canopy express.

 

Love this thread. Sort of wandered off panel trucks but I like them all.


Here's a slight peek at mine when I stopped working on it.Right after I finally got all four doors lined up and installed. All doors remote electric.

 

I think, I could see eye to eye with this guy or gal. Looks like there're some fun parties going on in this panel :

 

If Chevrolet had offered a sedan delivery in '67...

This 67 Chevy II was at our local cruise in tonight at the Burger King in Manassas, Virginia. They did a nice job of modifying a 4 door station wagon to make a 2 door sedan delivery.

 

Here are a few from my photo archives:










Not a Sedan delivery, but it still is cool:



The "Spruce Deuce":

 

I always wanted one of those Dodge hump roofed panel trucks.
I had the bright idea to do that to my 1948 Chevy panel but realized I already had too much time invested in it.

 

Agreed. "I love the smell of black powder in the morning". 44WCF the round that won the west.

If so, she would have been an infant.
I wonder, if the word, "PANEL TRUCK" has finally been introduced into the Australian dictionary.
Interesting to note how their misinterpretation of sedan deliveries resemble Impalas, Chevelles and Monte Carlos in miniature

 

Of course here comparing a VAN and a PANEL TRUCK is like comparing a station wagon and a mini van. Vans were the hippy vehicle in the States back in the 70's.
Since I'm not a hippy I didn't own a van until 1994. And altho it didn't have a water bed, we had an airbed.

 

I'll take an airbed over a gasbed, anyday

 

Airbed is just a fancy name for modern air mattresses. Personally very comfortable if not aired up too much and if used where the cold air does not make the bed cold.
Also personally, I have passed gas on an airbed.
At home we still use the waterbed we bought in the 70's.

Getting back on topic, I had planned on putting an airbed in our panel truck for longer trips.

 

Things happen, Sir. As soon as you start passing water, though, that's when it's time to worry
