`68 Panel:Crappy Pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**special-K** · 06-13-2007, 06:46 AM

I wanted pictures of this`68 Panel from my local funeral parlor for a long time.They had it sitting out to do work inside the garage and I asked if I could snap off a few.This was before my camera walked off and I think it was just a dirty lense.We lost the memory card for a long time,then I thought she erased them w/o saving.It turns out I have put them on a disc.So,here they are.I`d like to go ask to take more some day and have them pull it out:

Darn!They look worse upon the screen.You can tell how nice it is.But,these will have to serve as teasers.I would delete this,but I may not get a chance to get more pictures for awhile.

ask to take more pictures? hell, I'd ask what they would take for it.

Now that would be the stylish way to go to the graveyard!

That's a very nice looking ride.

Is it still, ummm, used?? Or is it a former hearse that's been restored?

That's one truck I'd never want to ride in, well, at least in the back.....

Tim, is that close to you or one down my way, we have one fairly local that is rear similar to that one.

that's like an eye test tim.... ouch I think I need glasses!

nice ride though...

That is a really sweet panel--need some new pics though! Looks like it probably was (or is) their "first call" vehicle--one that is sent to pick up a recently deceased person from a hospital or residence and bring them to the funeral home. This saves wear and tear on the much more expensive formal hearses.

i wouldnt say dirty lense over just out of focus

but damn thats sweet, id love to have that thing

**special-K** · 06-15-2007, 08:30 AM

I had just put batteries in the camera,go figure.I think it won`t focus with a dirty lense.This panel is real close to me.The parlor is next to my son`s high school.Bill,I guess there`s two between us.I had a`69 truck this color,"special paint".It is a transport vehicle with no rollers or fasteners in the floor.It`s a CST with a 6 cyl,3spd,and no a/c.The owner cherishes it and there`s a real nice garage built for it.He was using the garage to do some woodworking and had the panel sitting out for a week or so last summer.I will get back for more shots.They have a silver Escalade they use,now.They should do a custom panel treatment on that one.They are an all GM business,for sure.

pickupman · 06-15-2007, 09:22 PM

Yes, there must be 2, they don't use this one much anymore, they used it for a flower van I think, not a hearse.

**special-K** · 06-15-2007, 09:51 PM

You know?This one must have been used for flowers,too.I was wondering how they tied a casket down.
