Maybe I am looking for more of the 57 than the 55's, but nice pictures so far. Have any pics of any that are restored??

My "Google" image search didn't pull up many. Remember, you can also put a 55-57 front clip on a 58/9 panel body if you prefer 2 headlights to 4.

That would be awesome, I am wanting to make a toy but it is also a work truck. Picture this pull up to a custumers house. Dump the bags. of course you the lower it is the easier it is to unload the tools.
You can't tell me it wouldn't get attention. A rolling business card.

Guessing my original assumtion of them not existing has been proven wrong.

Re: Looking for pics of a 55 56 57 Panel. Do they exist??????

Hey, I have had this truck since 1977, It has a 1970 350 with around 275 HP, 1966 T-400 trans, 1968 12bolt posi with 308s, It's not a Hot Rod but it run's pretty good, still has original suspension and brakes, Sits in my garage most of the time, probably put around 200 miles a year on it.

Yes they do and they are for sale. It is really about 2 inches long and runs on a slot car track. Remember the Aurora AFX tracks. I only want ten of them myself.
