Re: 1937 big truck panel
 

I have a good running 59ab and a T9 all set to go. Problem being I'd get obsessed with it, spend a year making it go, then it sits in the shed to keep that paint outa the rain. Really no fun to drive and less so as I get older. But don't get me wrong I absolutey LOVE that thing. And the price is totally right. I have only driven my green tonner (avatar) like 3 times since a totally rehabbed it a couple years ago. But I LOVE that big panel.....

C'mon GB, ya know ya gotta have it. It's a waitin for ya! In fact, I would think you would feel responsible for saving it!!!!!! Think of all the fun you'd have working on it, and all the fun WE would have seeing the progression.

Re: 1937 big truck panel
 

Well, there is THAT...

Re: 1937 big truck panel

Re: 1937 big truck panel

GB, I like your camping setup in the woody, but perhaps you need a bad weather camper?

Re: 1937 big truck panel
 

But Skip, I already have that covered....We'll need a better excuse.

Cars I didn't buy are more regretful than the ones I bought. LOL. However, sometimes the time just isn't right. That engine and transmission you are saving GB would make a nice base for a coffee table you could make in your wood shop. I'm happy that you don't mind a little teasing GB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 1937 big truck panel
 

Yes, I can take it, and I have at least one big regret about a vehicle I did not act upon in about 1990, so I fully understand the ramifications. I have dug myself into a hole I can't get out of until maybe Mid May. My experiment with 'semi-retirement' was going so well until I couldn't resist three projects back to back to back. I worked right through last weekend and this one promises to be the same. No complaints, the projects are all rather 'high profile', challenging and financially attractive. But a Coffee Table? Sheesh 34, that one hurt :) Still funny....

Trucks and panels seem to be so generic these days. Not many styles like the various brands had in the early years. Mostly just square boxes now. I remember growing up and being excited watching different cars and trucks. I don't think kids are as intrigued this way now. They have their computers, phones and gaming machines to keep them occupied. My dad was born in 1895 and he saw the transition from horses to all of the exciting developments of the automotive birth.

Your dad lived in an amazing time period. He was 8 when the Wright Brothers flew. When did he die? The innovations he saw...... Mind boggling.

That cabover is magnificent, it even has the car hubcaps!

Re: 1937 big truck panel
 

I envy you guys that have the space and $ to collect the commercial type vehicles, especially GB Sisson who is still making them “earn their keep.” I find the big COE types with their unique styles to be most interesting. I marvel at all the work that was accomplished with 100 HP and less. I would bet the heat of the engine in the cab over trucks was welcome in the winter but a nuisance in the summer in the days before AC. Back in the 80s there was a guy here who had a 38/39 COE with a tilt bed that he hauled his drag car on. Truck and car painted alike. Quite impressive to me!

Re: 1937 big truck panel
 

Well guys, I was on facebook marketplace last night and noticed I had a message to read. It was from Danny, the current owner of this big panel. The message said that he had reduced the price to 4500.00, but he needs it gone so he'd take 3500.00 Just plain not in the cards for me right now. I agonized over it for hours and awoke to the same reality. It just can't happen for me. I told Danny I'd post up his new price, and he was appreciative of that. It had been his uncle's project, but the uncle passed way over the winter.

Re: 1937 big truck panel
 

After talking with Gary by PM and phone I was all ready to make arrangements with the seller to check it out. But then, as Gary said reality sunk in and the logistics etc. made even a good detail not so good. That said, I'll be happy to look at the panel for anyone that might be interested.
