Longhorn Man · 12-06-2008, 05:27 PM

there are no GMC production numbers for the ones sold in the U.S., they are claimed to have been lost in a fire.

Greetings!Welcome to the site!!

bull68gmcpanel · 12-07-2008, 04:31 AM

so should i hold on to this one

Longhorn Man · 12-07-2008, 11:32 AM

Panels are pretty much rare these days anyways... they were made in somewhat low numbers, but few lived through there working years. Add to the mix that yours is a GMC, which the accepted figure is one GMC for every 3 chevys, you have a fairly rare bird there.
I'd keep it. But I'd keep it regardless of how rare it is honestly

Long Roof · 12-07-2008, 11:49 AM

Welcome from ohio. Sweet panel. What all you planning for the rebuild? You should start a project thread so we can watch the progress.

bull68gmcpanel · 12-07-2008, 11:59 AM

my plans are directly relative to my funds I just got it off the frame need to get frame apart for blasting prob going with slight drop still will tow harley with it and will drive it the body needs rockers and as far as i can tell just some lower patches she is pretty solid floors good going for clean look nothing fancy I will do the thread thing i got a crap load of pics and will document the whole thing

robb67 · 12-07-2008, 10:35 PM

Welcome! I'm ripping into a 68 Chevy Panel and it is coming off the frame shortly. Mine is in rougher shape than yours appears though...too many Canadian winters, I guess. It'll be nice to watch your progress and see some pics. Looks like a beauty.

vectorit · 12-07-2008, 10:54 PM

did you and your buds just lift off the body and walk it over to the dolly? or did you use anything? any pictures of the body coming off?

bull68gmcpanel · 12-17-2008, 08:54 PM

did it by myself engine hoist up front and two farm jacks from tractor supply braced just a bit then rolled the frame out and slowly lowered body onto dolly
