Re: 67-72 panel truck?

They're semi rare. They have semi low production numbers and most of them where long ago worked to death. They were only made form 67-70 mostly replaced by vans which business found more useful than the classic panel... I have a 67 panel, took me awhile to find it but I absolutely love it. There should be a pictures post of burbs/panels on this forum with a bunch of each.

Re: 67-72 panel truck?

1970 was,in fact,the last year for panels.I want to say yes to your GMC question.But,at the moment I can`t recall seeing one.Could be bad memory,though.

If you look under the picture area of the auction where the "questions from members" area is the guys says "it's a 70 sorry for the typo"

Re: 67-72 panel truck?

I cant see how he could type the wrong vin and item description. I think he was trying to pull a scam.

Re: 67-72 panel truck?

For years all these trucks were refered to by many as`72s,kinda generic.This guy prolly has that habit,I dunno.I doubt it`s a scam.There would be no advantage to giving the wrong year.A guy that knows his stuff would see right through it and those who don`t know,it wouldn`t really matter.You can`t buy what was never made.
For years I got,"Hey,nice`72",no matter which truck I had.
