Re: My 61 Panel
 

Makes me glad I only have a cab to push around.:four:

Re: My 61 Panel
 

duuuude thats clean, nice work were did you find it?

Re: My 61 Panel
 

That's SaaaaWeeeeeeeeeet! I like it alot!

Re: My 61 Panel
 

Looks like it in great shape....You have a '63 frame lined up already ??

Re: My 61 Panel
 

That panel is in really good shape. I'm assuming from your post that some body repair has been done?

How difficult is it to find/get parts for these older trucks in Germany?

Re: My 61 Panel
 

nice! Why are you ditching the early frame though?

Re: My 61 Panel
 

a couple of thoughts...
I noticed that you are in germany...
A new/used 63-66 frame might be expensiveto purchase,and transport overseas...
you are going with a dropmember anyway,and porterbuilt makes one for a 60-62,and to set your burb up like dinos with the rake, I think all you would have to do in the rear is a 'C' notch, or a small step notch.
either way I think even fabbing up an entire new back half would probably be cheaper than shipping aa frame overseas.
the body looks nice btw.

Re: My 61 Panel
 

i wanted to sell some parts and a guy came and buy all my stuff and told me about the panel !
sounds good and some weeks later i picked up the Panel (Saturday 25th)!

the Panel was build in Swiss , then buy a guy in belgium and make all the Body work except the Doors!
he run out of money and now he is in my Hands!!:devil:

Re: My 61 Panel
 

No , i orderd some parts at Summit and Ebay they will be arrive this week!!!:metal:

Re: My 61 Panel
 

The most work did the Guy in Belgium , i´ll do the rest of the work incl. the Paint!!

There are some Guy here in Germany who had some parts , but the most of the parts are rusty and in a bad condition!!

I order my parts only in the US :flagw: !!!!!

Re: My 61 Panel
 

The original Frame rusty and bend!!

Re: My 61 Panel
 

That´s right i´m a Potato from Germany.:bann:

I already have a Frame he came with the Panel , only the Frame no front or Rearend . i bought the dropmember before i had the Panel ! I think that i´m use stuff from ridetech for the rear , i hope it is the right decision ?!



Sorry Guy´s for my bad english!!!!!!!!

Re: My 61 Panel
 

I'm a potato from Idaho:bann: Your English is a lot better then my German. I think there are some Germans living in Northern Idaho, thier all bald though.:canada:
