I couldn't get closer, when i passed there today, but it's junkyard. Picture one big file again until I can tune my camera down a bit picture 1 2mb and picture 2 picture 2 It's for sale, but he is known as expensive, but I can always try.

My vote would be for a Panel, with windows added. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | Nope, Not a Suburban. That's a 1 Ton Panel truck, with windows added. I've seen this done, to alot of Panel Trucks. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,158 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,158 | I'm with the guys. This is definitely too big for a burb. Burbs only came in half ton varieties, and this looks like a one ton to me.
It may have been used as a school bus. That could explain the windows and the color.

Anyway, good luck with the negotiations! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | 1951 or newer panel is my vote,
Scott | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 146 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 146 | well im gonna go out on a limb, and say it may even be an ambulance. the brackets on the back would hold emergency lights, and the windows look like the kind ive seen on ambulances that were made out of trucks. i have a 56 pontiac ambulance, and am always looking at pics of them.
strictly a guess ..... :confused: | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | It's a '52 or '53 GMC 1-ton panel with windows added.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 179 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 179 | Pretty likely it was used for a school bus in a rural area. In pic #2, is that a Canadian WW2 era military Chevy truck on the left? I expect there's not many of those around.

An ambulance would be white, red, red & white or Blue & white as was the practice back in the day. Yellow became a fire color in the 70s. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 310 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 310 | Thank you all, for your time, I'll skip this one and go on for the endless quest for the ideal Bolt.
