I posted thus a while back.
Belongs to a new acquaintance.
He has grafted a truck cab with a pannel.
Is fairly complete I did notice the instrument pannel installed or the electric windows door popper solenoids and door pannels. Piant has some flaws.
Looks like it's been sitting awhlie.
Only saw it from ground.
He is asking 15k but will entertain offers.

I’m, curious on the whole grafted a truck cab to a panel statement. You know the made panel trucks back then right? Basically a Suburban without windows or rear seats. Though they did have a short wheelbase like a Suburban (like this one) and a longer wheelbase version.

Like a Suburban of the same generation it should have a wood rear floor behind the seats. Though the Butb could have come with a tailgate liftgate combo or the barn doors the panel trucks were all barn doors if I remember right.

Like I need a hole in my head if a 64-66 K-series burb or panel truck dropped in my lap I’d probably buy it. They are bigger than a K5 but still shorter than 67-72 burbs or squares and could be a killer unique adventure rig.
 
yeah I knew about the long ones, Helms bakery trucks, (Wade remembers). Haven't seen many if any short ones. Chuck is the owner/crafter, getting up there in age, guess he wanted one, had a truck and back half of a panel and made one, it also on a later truck chassis, want to say 78. Has a 70's 5 lug axle.
 
Most of the panels n burbs were short, the 1 tons were the long ones. The short ones had the same wheelbase as a RCSB truck.
