Special,you of all people calling a Panel a 'Burb.But that is a sweet looking Panel.
drive, you might check the wrecking yards for an old wrecker.Also somewhere in Tn is a wrecker museum,maybe someone will have some pics of some and you can copy one.

alright thanks thats really a sweet panel! if anyone else has some pics of trucks with push bumpers id like to see them

**special-K** · 03-19-2008, 04:28 AM

I said that?I meant to say a Suburban without windows otherwise known as a Panel...sheesh

I knew I had a picture saved of a push vehicle and nabbed it so fast I make a meestake.
