As visible in the picture above at the roof rails the side panel is screwed into the inner framework at those points. I believe it tucks into the lower panel before it is screwed down. I haven't disassembled it to know exactly...Odd that there are inside sheet metal panels on a panel truck...seats are from a Suburban...panels with barn doors never had openings for the tailgate back? (I was wondering what those holes were...So, I guess they don't have delete plates for them either) Its looking like I have a Heinz 57 panel truck.

Wink Re: Post your pics of 64-66 Panels & Subs

That just confirms that my interior panels are Chevy made with both vehicles having the same screw in trim mounts but I have no trim. 1 off...you mean they pulled a carryall and made it a panel? maybe that is why it has those 60/40 seats. Those buckets sure would finish that panel off good though. jon

jon, that panel had to be stamped out and installed when the sides were put together. Its spot welded in.when i was searching for my panel i looked at at least 200 to 300 panels and your is the only one that has those panels.the parts suburban that i have has both places for the hinges, mark

Yeah, they looked too good to be aftermarket

They are just like in my panel but that would imply I am missing some trim...I was just going to put a polished wood bumper strip down each side.
