ggdad1951 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Posted September 10, 2012 Tim there was one truck that I think was a 58 might have been a 59. Dual headlights. Not sure how bad your doors are to know if these would be worth buying and mailing down. yah we saw that on the way out, we didn't picture it did we? Quote
Young Ed Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 yah we saw that on the way out, we didn't picture it did we? Nope didn't even think of it. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Posted September 18, 2012 everything is in the mail as of today except the bumper and rear panel truck door. Please let me know if you don't get your parts! I DO have the pair of grill bars from a mid-50's available! Quote

I DO have the pair of grill bars from a mid-50's available! I might be interested in the grille bars if they are available. PM me a price. I cut a lower one down for my custom grille, but would rather have another upper instead. Bud Quote
48Dodger Posted September 19, 2012 Report Posted September 19, 2012 "48dodger: panel truck inner fenders: NO, one gone the other was loose, with no metal near the mounting areas" You guys did an awesome job, Real American Pickers for sure!! I'm just bummed I didn't get lucky......my search continues. May I buy you guys a drink?? 48D Quote
buds truck Posted September 19, 2012 Report Posted September 19, 2012 Hey Tim, the pilothouse site on facebook has a complete panel for sale.... in case you havent seen it yet. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 19, 2012 Report Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks, as much as I love panel trucks I will have to pass for now..I just lately bought a very large vehicle that I really need to make my last item in house..so far I am backed up some 20 years past normal life expectancy..I am still gathering parts for the 58 1/2 ton truck...now if someone was to buy the 1960 Ford panel I have here, long story, please don't ask..I would make room for a Dodge..I think I have another car sold..waiting for his shop to be completed..I am trying to be a bit realistic of what I want to build now and let the others go to fund the high priority models..but not pushing any sales..if folks ask only do I mention the availibility Quote
pflaming Posted September 19, 2012 Report Posted September 19, 2012 Tim, that hearse reminds me of the 1938 Buick hearse six of us bought when in College. At 70MPH that heavy long wheel base vehical drove like a dream. Are you sure you don't want this mail truck? look at the unique passenger door, and steering wheel, etc are on the same side (English style). Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 19, 2012 Report Posted September 19, 2012 hey..I want them all but often reality slaps me between the eyes..love the mail truck, they are very unique..notice that Ford recently copied that door style...lol this hearse has a 13 foot wheelbase...yes 156 inches between centers..big Packard straight 8..only thing I have been able to find that was not GM based..I know WHY...only answer..it's what I wanted...

48Dodger Posted September 19, 2012 Report Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks, as much as I love panel trucks I will have to pass for now.. lol....I think Bud was yakkin at me Tim......the other of many "Tim"s here:D 48D Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted September 19, 2012 Report Posted September 19, 2012 you got me...! yeah..got more projects here than the law allows..but it is fun..regardless of what others may think...I figure in the end if nothing ever gets accomplished..well..the kids are going to wished they had cleaned their room growing up...

buds truck Posted September 24, 2012 Report Posted September 24, 2012 so I got my door checks from Mark, one was missing the rubber cushion and since I found one that I didn't know I had, I pulled it out to see if it had the cushion on it. It did, but was also about 3/8 if inch shorter than the pair I got from Mark. Did different year doors have different length stops???? Quote

It did, but was also about 3/8 if inch shorter than the pair I got from Mark. Did different year doors have different length stops???? I just made new ones from a rubber stopper, mine were almost completely gone, and I made mine a tich thicker so my doors CAN't open too far and hit anything else. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 24, 2012 Report Posted September 24, 2012 I used reproduction rubber stoppers from early Fords..readily available supple rubber with the slot mold into the rubber..cheap also.. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Posted October 23, 2012 I haven't heard a peep from dodgeman about the bumper after several PM's about it, so unless he replies soon, I'm gonna open up the bumper we pulled to anyone interested. It's a bit magled, but I've seen worse straightened. Anyone else interested? Quote
Young Ed Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 Dang here I thought you were going to say we're going again! Quote
Merle Coggins Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 Remind us what bumper you have. What did it come off of? Pics? Quote
Young Ed Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 Remind us what bumper you have. What did it come off of? Pics? Look backwards. It came off that panel truck. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Posted October 23, 2012 Ed, you wanna go out again? What you lookign for? I'm half tempted to see if I could/they'd let me cut off a large section of the panel truck roof for the TODD extended cab roof.... Quote
Young Ed Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 Ed, you wanna go out again? What you lookign for? I'm half tempted to see if I could/they'd let me cut off a large section of the panel truck roof for the TODD extended cab roof.... I have no idea what they'd charge you but I bet they'd sell it. I'd look for some IHC wheels for Dads 54 and explore the car section a little more. Tempted to ask what they'd want for that hemi but I don't need it! Quote
austinsailor Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 When did need have anything to do with it?! If you don't get it, tell me more about the hemi. Gene Quote
