Is there any way the Mods could reload the "old" panel trucks pictures" thread?
Any one have an update of theirs?
I am still trying to get mine back out of the impound yard my buddy has it in down here. One more project, and i think i could have the old 68 out and running by Spring.

Hey! Wes?
How's your panel truck coming?

New here, just bought a 67 panel, need help,rockers from door pillar to rear wheel house need replaced, anybody know what replacement panels will work or will they? Also thought i seen a patch panel for the part under the battery tray that rusts out, the one the front three bolts of the inner fender bolts to, but cant find it?Also need any wiring schematics i can get ahold of! Gonna try and get some pics up later,wish me luck I need it!

Hey BC! Welcome to the best site on the web for our trucks.
Ya got any pics of your panel truck to share?.
Look at the Vendors her on the site for replacement parts,
GMC Paul's and Classic Chevy (Wes) on the west coast, I think Brothers in Florida all have good prices and parts for ya.
Wecome once again. Blue

the panels for the rockers from the door pillar back to the rear wheelhouse,will a lwb truck panel work? or does somebody make the right panel,everything i see is for a lwb truck except the panel behind the wheelwell.HELP!

Welcome to the board from NJ! On a panel truck the outer rockers are the same as a pickup. The floorbraces should be the same as are the front door pillars. From the rocker back you will have to piece together. If your wheel arch is chewed up, you will need the following pieces...

Either a used SHORTBED bedside. Longbeds have a different wheel arch. They are rounded on the leading edge whereas burbs, panels, blazers & shortbeds all have a squared off leading edge to the wheel arch. Also, the bead on the wheel arch is more defined than on the longbed.

You can also use the upper wheel arch panel, the lower front BLAZER patch panel and the suburban rear patch panel. For the area between the wheel arch & the rocker, you will need to fabricate a piece of sheetmetal to fill this area.

Somewhere on the board I had made a sketch showing what patch panels were available and where they went...

Good luck & get some pics up... :)

im hoping to have my 69 panel on the road by the end of july, but its going to be close. 68 front clip is all painted, doors and barns are at the bodyshop now being repaired and painted. wheel wells, core support, and misc items are all powder coated. body is coming off of frame this week so i can detail and lower suspension and install new motor, tranny and exhaust....keeping fingers crossed.

bcminimart, Here is a link to the panel Wes is fixing. He can help with replacement panel info also.
