yeah, I kind of thought so too, I would love a 58-9 panel...
It was probably built when you could find a good panel for less than $50
I remember when these year trucks just littered the streets.
In the 70 's and 80's when we were bringing them in to the salvage yard, we would grab the doors fenders front sheet metal , and dash parts, and then send them on thier way, because they were coming in faster than we had room for.
I wish it was that way today, now those free beaters are 1k or more...
