Picked up a '65 Panel

[chevy_mike]

So I have been looking around for a Suburban or Pane from '64-'72 for a while. Not really serious unless the right deal came up. Then a couple weeks ago I sold our '00 Jeep Cherokee so I had funds to get more serious. Been looking for the last couple weeks. Went to check out a few and was disappointed. Rust buckets and bondo queens. I happened across this '65 Panel and checked it out yesterday. It has a minor dent in the lower rear drivers corner due to the lug nuts coming off and allowing the wheel to dismount from the drum. Outside of that, it truly has almost zero rust and is a good 3 footer paint job. Not perfect but the nicest I have had in an old truck.

I need to completely do the suspension as it still wears drums and most of the original parts. Add power steering and disc brakes, etc., etc. It currently has 22" wheels which are definitely going. Not sure what I am going to end up with but need to kind of decide so I know if I am going 5 lug or 6.

Here are a few teasers that I got just as I got home and needed to get the trailer back. It was dark after that. Likely this weekend I will get some more. I am stoked with this.
