Whats the story on Panels ?
Looks like a jigsaw puzzle how it all seems to be overlapped.
I tried search but I rarely have any luck with the search feature here (?)
Anyone refer me to post on this topic?

I do not think that you will get the 1949 Panel rear floor boards out in one piece.
In 1950, "the floor boards of panel and canopy express models were changed to plywood construction. In the new construction a single panel of wood and five skid strips replaced thirteen floor boards and twelve skid strips."

Are the individual planks installed in such a way that they cannot be removed either? Are the planks tongue and groove? | | | | | | ZooKeeper Unregistered | | ZooKeeper Unregistered | I do not think that you will get the 1949 Panel rear floor boards out in one piece.

They can be removed by removing the retaining strips front/rear and unbolting the metal strips from the x-braces. BUT the ones up against the walls are just like the plywood. They are under the body lip inside the panel body. You're going to have to lift the body up off of them. But would need to put some kind of support the same thickness of the stock planks at the very back near the doors....Joe | | |
