Re: My 61 Panel

That panel is in really good shape. I'm assuming from your post that some body repair has been done?

How difficult is it to find/get parts for these older trucks in Germany?

Re: My 61 Panel

a couple of thoughts...
I noticed that you are in germany...
A new/used 63-66 frame might be expensiveto purchase,and transport overseas...
you are going with a dropmember anyway,and porterbuilt makes one for a 60-62,and to set your burb up like dinos with the rake, I think all you would have to do in the rear is a 'C' notch, or a small step notch.
either way I think even fabbing up an entire new back half would probably be cheaper than shipping aa frame overseas.
the body looks nice btw.
