Finally Found 66 Chevy panel
It only took a year of searching the net to find it and it was mis labeled as a suburban. It was originally bought be a Fire Dept in Minnesota. They owned it 29 years and put 29,000 miles on it. the second owner had it 18 years and put 4000 miles on it. I had to pull and flush the gas tank and rebuilt the carburetor it fired right up! Every thing works. All lights, blinkers ,Flashers ,backup lights.Its a 250 with 3 on the tree. Factory 3.73 posi. You can see 514 red on the fire wall, it still has the chock 514 on the fire wall.

Nice find! Looks quite intact. You're so right about that paint job. Good money spent for zero or negative gain.

Oops, what's with that second to last pic? Surely NOT this panel, right?
