yeah that is definitely an early 50s panel. I had a 58 panel once, those have two headlights and a different grille. Damn it's such a shame these kick ass cars get abandoned out to rot. Don't people understand these will never be built again! ever!
I need the steering column from that panel.truck. I lost the one from mine and it's proving very hard to find. I'm using a column from a pickup and the pickup column is 3 inches shorter than the panel truck column. If someone sends me that steering gear/column/top half of the shifter shaft I'll send you $200 and shipping cost
i think its the original "mystery machine!" scooby and shaggy just finally grew up, started a failed drycleaning business then went on to bigger things!
@Atmixx We use to find old dump yards full of cars like this outside of Detroit, always thought they were stolen, stripped and dumped, I never found an engine block in one
This reminds me of the ' Pine Barrens ' episode of 'The Sopranos '.
Paulie and Christopher take the Russian out there to bury him, but he isn't dead. He escapes. They get lost and find an old abandoned van. They eat the packets of relish and jam found on the floor.
Hey, go to google maps, type in "373 Antwerp Ave., Sudbury, Ontario, look at the street view. There is an old building among all the houses on that street. Look close at the very top of the building and you can still make out the words "Cleaners" on it. Too neat!
@yoni0063 to me it looks almost like "cuban.." just look at where the "E" in "cleaners" would be. It looks like there are loops at the right that make it a "B". Who knows, maybe you're right
If I was able to go to my old cottage I would of been able to get some pictures of a 1950's car, 1950's truck and an old garage(It sunk 8ft so you only see the roof).
@Strawberry7Lynn Check out Google maps. Search for 373 Antwerp St, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada and select Street View. Looks like the building this company used is still standing but now converted to apartments. Interesting.
where i live on top of the bluff somebody drove a old early 70`s vw van in the woods,and converted it to a hangout,wooden porch,kitchen typ cubbards,bench,i guess stoners made it,i guess over the years trees vegitation over grew the area,cuz i wondered how the hell they made it through the trees.
This is about the 5th vid I've seen with this truck. Though it is very rough, this type of vehicle deserves some attention. It does have some sort of historical value & somewhat rare. Would make a great parade vehicle especially if someone with some connection to that company is still around.
@xtpuller The grille was the same in 56 too. The 57 had a big oval cutout in the center, and the 58 had quad headlights. The 55 and 56 were pretty much unchanged except for a different badge on the hood and the side badge was moved up on the fender.
