Thank you! Does anyone out there know how to adjust the barn doors on a panel truck? The right door overlaps the left door at the top when they are closed. I've been looking at hinges and the look solid and intact. The bolts are tight but I can't figure out how to make the adjustment. Any help would be appreciated.

I almost bought this panel back in Jan this year, at Pomona. For me, there was just too many little things wrong/not right for the price they were asking.

Cool looking rig though. I ended up buying a '65 Panel (in my Signature) to go with my two C10's.

Mike: I'm converting tihs panel to "regular" power steering and getting away from the "ram assist". I'm looking for a center drag link because the current one will not work for regular PS. Do you know of any one who may have a center drag link for a C10 for sale?

You might check Hiway 67 Truck Dismantlers on Hiway 67, north of Lakeside. They tend to get a lot of trucks and I have bought parts for my '68 and '65 down there. There is also a guy on Craigslist in Chula Vista that sells parts for 60-66 panels/burbs. The center link is the same from '63-'70.

Mike: Thanks for the info. I was finally able to get the center link off tonight after work. I checked with 67 Truck Dismantlers and they only have C20 center links. I can get one from a Todd68Chevy on another post. He'll have to ship it to me. I'll check with the guy in Chula Vista if I can find him. I'm kind of curious as to what they were asking for the panel back in January? I wouldn't mind seeing your trucks since we live in the same area.

Hey Poway- here's a CL post by him, http://sandiego.craigslist.org/ssd/pts/3201201915.html

Definitely need to hook up. Check out my local truck club in my sig below and come on by our Sept. meeting at the Denny's on Miramar Rd.

As for what they were asking, I think they were at $9500 but I had been working a deal at $8000. After I passed, I saw it posted later at $11000.

Mike: I found a drag link in Victorville. I'm driving there tomorrow. About the panel ... I can understand your concern about all the little things not right about the truck. I saw them as well. I also saw the 11G price tag on it on another web site. I was able to pick it up for just a bit less than you had offered. I think in May they were hungry and wanted to "thin the heard" as the owner stated to me. I'm glad I bought it and it's now my second project. I'll see you in September! Thanks for the link to your club.

Cool deal!!! See ya in Sept.

Where did you get the headliner in the front? I think mine is original and painted over. It's looks like it is the type of sound deadening material painted white. It's starting to peel off in spots. Thanks in advance for your help...Poway

It breaks my heart to post this. I had a 70 panel for over twelve years until I fell on hard times and was forced to let it go. It wouldnt have bothered me that much but I found out later that the guy that bought it stripped it to build a pick up and crushed the panel. Not a day goes by that I dont miss that thing. Hopefully I will have the chance to get another one one day.

I love the panels as well. Its too bad that you had to let it go and even worse that you had to find out that it had such an un-apreciated end. I hope things get better and that you find another sometime.

85supersierra:

Wow, sorry to hear about your former panel. Not sure what people are thinking when they discard such a rare find. It looked like a fine ride in the photo. I'm planning on getting rid of the flames on mine and just keeping it white. I'm sure you'll be able to find another in the future when you're ready. Good luck.

Panels are so rare up North here. They are beautiful rigs.

Wow, I was scrolling through page 4 (#96) and what do I see but the green and white 67 that I bought from Joe Lopez outside if Detroit several years back. Pretty cool. Still looks about the same. Hopefully not forever. hehehe

New to the site and really happy to find pictures of all these cool panels.
Mine is a 69 that was a tad to red for me so these are before and after adding some chrome. next is some more horsepower, the present 350 is okay but would like some more. Still looking at options so any ideas would be appreciated.

Wow good lookin panel! Welcome to the board.

[robb67]

Nice Panel Don!
Sometimes I think about having more power than my 6 provides but I tell my wife having a 6 cylinder is my version of having a hybrid...any pics of your interior?
See you around sometime.

[IAFF2407]

nice panel, I'm over here in White Rock. I can set you up with a caddy 500, T400 trans, includes everything including carb. Many of these trucks have used the caddy, including my 72 Burb. Probably get you better a mpg.
