Stovebolt.com Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs Change a 54 Panel to a Suburban

Changes is one thing; wholesale transformation to an entirely different model is another. Kind of like the difference between your wife applying a new lipstick color, or getting a plastic surgery to completely alter her appearance and make her look like an entirely different person.

wholesale transformation - like an all different suspension/steering and/or an all different drive train?

A Panel with a different suspension or drive train is still a Panel. Its basic essence or identity is still intact.

Again, the cosmetic surgery analogy: If my wife gets a tummy tuck, that's an improvement that still leaves her basic self intact. Ditto for driveability improvements on a vehicle.
But if my wife gets an entirely new face or body to the point where she's unrecognizable as her former self, well that's just extreme and weird. Ditto for changing a panel into a Suburban.

I mean, how would most guys like it if their wife suddenly looked like Jennifer Lopez? ;-)

There's a 1 ton panel converted to school bus for sale in the trucks for sale forum.
It has windows in the rear , it will give you some ideas.
I would search for a suburban if that is what you're wanting.

PS: Always glad to see guys hacking up those panel trucks. It just makes my unmolested unit that much more valuable ;-)
