I've spotted a possible donor truck behind a barn on my commute. Don't you just love it when the leaves are off the trees? I'm getting whiplash from all sorts of treasures that were hidden all summer. Almost makes the recent snow showers worth it.

It's a BIG A/D flatbed. I haven't had a chance to get very close to it yet, but before I get my hopes up too far, I've got a quick question for boltland.

How interchangable are body panels between the various series? If the flatbed turns out to be a 3600 will I be able to use the fenders on my 3800 panel? How about the inner fenders? Clearly I'll have to keep looking for a better set of rear fenders. *grin*

One more quick question... How many aftermarket coachbuilders were there in the early/mid fifties? Just trying to figure out who may have done the conversion from panel to people hauler?

Thanks again for the help. I don't know what I did before I found this site.
