Post your pics of 64-66 Panels & Subs

[QUOTE=chevy_mike;6950721]Something else that is weird, it looks like this had a split tail gate setup at one point and was converted to barn doors. I have not seen any panels that had the hinge pockets for the upper tailgate. Makes me wonder if this was come coach built conversion panel.

I haven't seen those hinge pockets on a panel before in my searches either...the interior side-panels being finished with sheet metal when all panels I have seen and told about are bare bones interiors...makes you think the panel was altered for a specific business use similar to the one above.

On another note...I found a guy in San Diego with the upper trim piece I am missing to finish off the interior side panels...I am thinking some nice wood paneling for the ceiling to match the wood floor. Then all I got to do is find some bucket seats for the front, switch out my 283 for the 350 I inherited, and some misc. stuff then its a runner.

As visible in the picture above at the roof rails the side panel is screwed into the inner framework at those points. I believe it tucks into the lower panel before it is screwed down. I haven't disassembled it to know exactly...Odd that there are inside sheet metal panels on a panel truck...seats are from a Suburban...panels with barn doors never had openings for the tailgate back? (I was wondering what those holes were...So, I guess they don't have delete plates for them either) Its looking like I have a Heinz 57 panel truck.

jon ,this is a suburban parts truck i have. Thoses bumps in the middle and on the ends are where the window trim screws to.those are the same on yours but its a solid panel. Yours also has the same roof insulation as a suburban i wander if its a one off?

That just confirms that my interior panels are Chevy made with both vehicles having the same screw in trim mounts but I have no trim. 1 off...you mean they pulled a carryall and made it a panel? maybe that is why it has those 60/40 seats. Those buckets sure would finish that panel off good though. jon

with the location of those hinge pockets...I don't see a spot to bolt that giant "door check" like thinggy for each barn door...

jon, that panel had to be stamped out and installed when the sides were put together. Its spot welded in.when i was searching for my panel i looked at at least 200 to 300 panels and your is the only one that has those panels.the parts suburban that i have has both places for the hinges, mark
