My 2011 panels older, bigger brother



I've had it for many years, 1950 1 ton long wheel base panel, factory 17 inch rims, 235 engine (not original) with a factory 4 speed....no rust. One of these days I'm going to start working on him again

Looks like a similiar vintage stake bed, and a 67(?) 4x4 Suburban?

Nice collection....

Cool!

Maybe your '70 Burb would like to come visit my '37 Burb someday, it would get a kick out of meeting "Junior".

I'm sure he'd dig it, I'll pencil it in his schedule

Nice year

Yeah, its a good 'ol truck, been in the family since new. Just installed a NOS Warner-gear overdrive in it earlier this year, now it'll cruise at an honest 55mph without threatening to shoot push rods out through the hood.

Very Cool, yes that would have had a 216 engine. The 235 was a nice upgrade.. I had one in my 53 chevy 210 deluxe..
