Good moring to everyone. I found this site several years ago and I always enjoyed it. I didn't have a Stovebolt then and was into restoring Chevelles and El Caminos then.

They are all gone now and My Wonderful Wife knew for years how much I wanted a Chevrolet Panel Truck anywhere from 1947-1953.

Well she surprised me a few weeks ago and found one and we are going this Friday to have it hauled back to my garage.

I grew up with my Dad having a 1954 Chevy Panel Truck, and then a 1965 Chevy Suburban.

My favorite was always the Panel truck. They changed the grille totally in the 1954 year model and a few other changes like engine and some interior and dash parts. I can't wait to bring home My Chevy Panel Truck !!! It is a dream come true for me and thanks to My Wonderful Wife !!!!!

The truck doesn't have the title. The owner had passed away several years ago and had lost it. But, it does have the metal plate inside the drivers door riveted on. The plate is in good shape and you can see and read the serial number clearly. So, it doesn't say VIN # it says Serial Number, so I am assuming that serial number is the VIN number ??? Am I correct guys ??

I will be taking many pics. and will post some up in the upcoming weeks.

Love this Site !!!!

Thanks Guys.
