Hello All,
I have a quick question and I KNOW that if I ask it here all of your wisdom and sage advice will surely help me out. wink Now that you’re all buttered up here it goes.
I have a 1953 suburban. I have had it for a while (a few years) I Probably need to get pictures up here but that is not the question.
I bought it to restore with my boys, but man we are having a hard time getting into this truck. headscratch We have done a few others and have built a few 4x4 climbers but we are having a hard time getting energized about this ’53.
My boys and I are (well ok honestly it is more me then them) in love with the wartime flat fender Chevy’s smile as well as the art deco period but; I just can’t get into the advance design look, and I know that if I am going to be spending the amount of time and effort needed for this project I am going to have to get into it. So with that long back ground here is my question.
Do any of you know if there were 1 ton panels built during the art deco period and how rare they are? I know of the two in the Gallery but I am unaware if they were original 1 ton or upgraded. I like the art deco look and I would like to track a 1-ton panel down. The other (my dream option) would be to find one of the rare 1-ton military panels. But I do have a budget.
Any and all help and suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance for your help, I love “lurking” here it is one of my favorite websites. dance
