Buying a panel GMC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NONHOG · 09-01-2009, 02:27 PM

Funny thing is I have yet to see the title and don't know what year it is.
Not that it matters I'm buying it anyway. Any guess on the year ?

Also what bolt pattern would this have ?

Can't wait !

sgtusmc · 09-01-2009, 11:17 PM

I don't know too much about panels, other than I would love one. My guess it's 47-50 because of the 1 piece windows and driver side vent door. The bolt pattern is a 6 lug. Looks really solid and all there. If you don't mind, how many bones are you dropping on it? If I'm ever able to have another project I think it'd be a GMC panel. If the price is right I'd jump on it. There's a lot of people looking for them. And GMC panels are kinda rare.

NONHOG · 09-01-2009, 11:52 PM

Well the price is still to be determined. I am dealing with a neighbor of the owner. I feel stupid for not looking at the wheels as far as # of lugs.
I spent all my time looking for(and finding) rust.
Is the pattern the same as the 67-72 6 lug ?
From what I understand the GMC had pressure oiling ?
Hope I can use as is. After some TLC.

NONHOG · 09-08-2009, 10:52 AM

Spoke with the owner last night she has had it since 56. Doing the deal on Wednesday.

anything I should be aware of on a 49' ?

1lo67 · 09-08-2009, 09:50 PM

looks like a good one, take some more pics.

That's the exact same thing I said when I found mine.

It didn't matter what year or how much. Great find.

bensimmons_05 · 09-08-2009, 10:57 PM

oh did you say a '49? That is BAD really really BAD.....

you need all kinds of special stuff, for things to do anything.......

you should probly just let me get it instead cause I have all that special stuff, and I really want one.

NONHOG · 09-08-2009, 11:16 PM

After work tomorrow ! I'll keep ya all posted.

71swb4x4 · 09-08-2009, 11:26 PM

That is very cool. I would love to find an old panel to use with my business.

Is this the one SOM posted?

**fine69** · 09-09-2009, 10:26 AM

Dude, i had one of those.

I am interested in buying this one if you decide you dont want it.

NONHOG · 09-10-2009, 12:16 AM

In my name now !

Camera card was full after just a few pictures.
Some things I noticed today ...
Chevrolet on the valve cover Hmmm ?
Wood floor, had no idea
16" wheels, Dang just got rid of 6 lug 16x7 wheels

Glad her son was over as well as her care giver. Elderly gal and I did not want anyone to feel uneasy about a business deal.
Paid full asking price $1000.00 not sure it was worth it but I like it ! Thats all that matters.
Her son said he had it running not long ago but the fuel pump failed.
So I will start there as well as cleaning(probablyreplacing) fuel tank.

Sillyoldman · 09-10-2009, 12:50 AM

Awesome! I know a thing or two about wood floors. I think we can roll out that dent on the roof too. We'll have to remove that window and weld in a patch. What other plans of mine do you want to hear? Do you need help getting home? Let me know.

**oldiron** · 09-10-2009, 01:12 AM

My dad had an old panel truck like that back in the 60's. Went just about anywhere in the snow mud and ice with it. It was unstoppable. I don't think the brakes worked very well.

robin58 · 09-10-2009, 09:48 AM

I think it was well worth the $1000. Great project.

As for the bullethole in the window, flip it to the other side, glue a hangdun to the windshield and I guarantee everyone will get out of your way

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-10-2009, 10:38 PM

Congrats on the new ride...

**Palf70Step** · 09-11-2009, 05:24 PM

So cool. That will be a great ride when you are done. Love the old panels!!

CG · 09-11-2009, 10:26 PM

...

**Palf70Step** · 09-11-2009, 10:59 PM

When it was said, I though. yuck!, but I actually like the looks of that front end with the "new" grill

NONHOG · 09-11-2009, 11:52 PM

Dang thats funny and odd. I kinda like it

No newer pictures?

Figured you'd be working on it more, when I found this thread.

Odd responses...surpirised no one said, "$1,000.??!!" stressing how you stole it.
Front seats are worth (actually sell for...) $600. or so.

They are there, orig. wheels, etc. ...wow.

Dan Bowles · 04-22-2010, 07:12 AM

$600 for the seats??? About $350 around here in better shape. I got one at a swap last fall for $5 that needs serious rework, but it was $5!

$1000 is about right if you ask me. I'd like an update as well. Is it a 216?235?250? GMC engine? Running yet?

NONHOG · 04-22-2010, 11:27 AM

Actually I have a few threads on/about my panel. Here is one.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=362407

If you click on my user name and click statistics then show posts started by
NONHOG you'll see a few.

As of now its just waiting for time and money.
Needs new carb installed (time)
Needs fuel tank cleaned, repaired, replaced ? (time and money)
Needs brakes (time and money)

Hoping I can find the time to get these items taken care of so I can bring the ol bucket of bolts to the 4th of July show about 45 minutes north of me.
