1948 GMC Panel truck

I bought this truck in 1988. It was complete except for a motor. It was oxidized mostly red, but the panels had faded Coca-Cola logos on them. It has a recently rebuilt 1960 Chevrolet 6-cyl with a split manifold. I took the split front seat from a 1951 Chevy Suburban. Still has floor start.

They are sometimes difficult to find. They were mostly used for delivery trucks. Back then, nobody wanted one unless they needed it for their business.

That's why I've always liked commercial panel trucks. They were underdogs, beat to the ground. They're the opposite of the glamorous 55-57 Ford Thunderbird.

People drove them off the road when they ran out of gas, and left them there to rot.

Looks awesome! I thought about converting my Chevy Panel to a GMC front end. You just don't see enough of them.
