I got a lead today on a '65 panel truck. I haven't seen it yet but a good friend of mine told me about it today and said it was a very nice AZ panel.

I would kill to have this truck! This body style is my favorite of almost all of the Chevy trucks ever made and I love panels! I will keep you guys posted and post pics ASAP.

You bet.....come on over!

It seems that more and more people are realizing that the '60-'66 trucks have a real cool style and lots of class. I hope you can make a deal on that panel.

The guy was asking 1200 (or was it 1500, either way...) bucks for the truck. I think my frind was thinking about trading some paint and body work for the panel. That would be sooooo worth it. I would love to have a panel... I just gotta convince the wife it was worth it, oh wait... no I don't... :lol:

Good move Don.
We'll need to whisper so they don't hear us next door, but the 60-66's are much more desirable than the 67-72's.

I will definitely be joining you guys.Just can`t say when right now.I love all early GM trucks up to`72,and still like them newer,too.I got stuck on 67-72s as an everyday truck way back when and never let.I love how each series evolved from the one before,keeping up with the pace of America.This area I live in wasn`t as kind to the 60-66s for year`round driving.I`ve had one hot rod short Fleetside and a 4wd Stepside,both red.I have always wanted to replace them.I have my eyes out for a long Stepside/Fenderside.I know where a 1/2t 2wd Chevy is with a big back window,but it`s alot of work.
Nothing wrong with a well kept secret.These trucks are from the tail end of the jet age and are style +.

You won't regret it.I've had 18 vehicles in my life and have to say this is my favorite. What motor and tranny are in the 65?

Good to hear your moving towards the 60-66. The more I work on my Sons 64 the more I would like to have one for my own. Im like you though, I like all the chevys.

I had a chance to buy a '64 stepper back in 2005. But I missed out on the deal. I worked for a dealership owned bodyshop that took it in on a trade for a newer truck. I offered them three times the amount of what they gave the owner but someone else apparently had their eyes on it. Dang!!! I have always loved the style of the early '60's over any other style of Chevy truck. I appreciate my '67 stepper, but I still drool when I see a early 60's Chevy. They just look tough and have such a sweet overall flow to the design. Hopefully.... :)
