My guess it was a Panel Truck, and somebody added windows. Longhorn Panel Truck? IDK? '60-'66 Vintage is a mystery to me.

Thanks for the answer. Doesn't sound like it's worth following up.

Looks like an awesome trip and nice weather once you got a bit more to the south. Thanks for sharing.

I am not sure what was available in those years either, but it was neat.

He is a little tough to get ahold of, but he has some parts there. It was quite overgrown also.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Most [regular] people would look at this and see scrap metal. To me it’s beautiful.

Those pics are awesome! I can’t believe there are still that many buildable trucks still laying around. I’m in SW Florida and haven’t been able to find anything like that. Maybe out in the more rural areas there are some. Thanks for sharing the pics

C30 10.5 ft panel truck, Model C3605, 133" WB, overall length is just under 20 feet. Looks like a 1962, based on the wraparound windshield and cowl emblem.

Thank you for the info, never knew those existed from the factory! Very cool to know.

Looks like a nice haul Eric! I really miss going junk yarding around here, very few places to go anymore. I think the EPA have forced out all the good yards. I see you crossed the Paseo bridge, did you stop by Chevy Duty or LMC?

There are still places out there, but it takes time tracking them down and finding them. Can't tell you how many leads i chase or miles i put on...

I have never been to either of them and i know i was within a few miles of one or both. One of these times i will have to try to get to cameron in decent time so we can hang out a little.
