Thanks guys, for all the info. I found Metalman's website and it looks like I'll have a lot to talk to him about.
I've wanted a panel truck for years and I look forward to slowly bringing it back to life.
I've already got a good frame to go under the panel. I just got the panel this week and I'm having surgery this Tuesday. It looks like I will be out of commission for a few weeks.
It's just that much more time I'll have to plan what I'm going to do to the panel! Can't wait!
