Always loved panels BB. It makes folks feel good to see the old American stuff still on the road.

I love those old GM panel trucks! Had a 53 GMC panel in the early 70s It was kind of a hippy wagon. Mattress in the back and a Quadraphonic 8-track (fake 4 channel). It also had a bumper sticker that said: "Don't laugh, your daughter may be in here"! Good luck with your build though and have fun with it!
