A panel truck is a windowless cargo van built on a truck chassis.
Similar in function to its smaller cousin, the sedan delivery; which is a station wagon with no backseat, and no side windows aft of the front doors. Both types of vehicles are frequently used as delivery vehicles.
Panel trucks are often used by construction and maintenance contractors and were sometimes configured for ambulance and hearse roles. Other variations include Canopy express models, which have open display areas behind the driver's seat primarily used by farmers for selling fruits and vegetables. The evolution of sport utility vehicles can be traced to panel trucks, as the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon, as well as the International Harvester Travelall were passenger versions of these trucks. In modern times minivans have been adapted to some of these functions.
The 2007-present Chevrolet HHR panel was inspired by the Chevrolet Suburban panel truck. Although the HHR is a compact crossover utility vehicle, instead of a full-size truck like the Suburban.
Grave Digger Monster Truck Racing's original truck is a 1957 Chevrolet Panel Truck.

EVENTUALLY, THE TRUCK "RETIRED" TO A FIELD WHERE IT SAT FOR YEARS BEFORE BEING PULLED OUT AND REVITALIZED.

BRAKE HORSEPOWER IS RATED AT 102 @ 3600 RPM. THE WHEEL BASE IS 119 1/2". THE COOLING SYSTEM WOULD HOLD 16 QUARTS WITH A HEATER AND THE GAS TANK HELD 17 GALLONS. AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THIS VIDEO THIS RARE PANEL TRUCK HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS. THERE IS RUST ALL OVER, DINGS, DENTS, BROKEN GLASS, AND SEE-THROUGH RUST HOLES. RIGHT NOW IT JUST LOOKS LIKE A RUST BUCKET.

I bought a compressor for my garage and decided to play with the air bags a little. Still all manual. Only things new on the truck are mounted side steps and a Chevy 350 with Turbo 400 tranny. I have not had very much time to work on the truck lately, family and school keep me pretty busy. I've got a little bit of time this week though, I might replace the floor.

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. |  1951 chevy panel truck 1951 chevy panel truck |  1937 Ford panel truck.mpg |  1940 Chevrolet Panel Truck Idleing This is my dads 1940 Panel truck that he rebuilt the front end on and brought it back to its former Delivery truck days, with the our Business name on the side and back.
