Packard??? That's my guess but I really know nothing. I am confident however that Gastrick can tell us make model and factory.

Hmmm.... This is a good one....
Those wheels look like early Ford "Wide Fives," but that doesn't mean crap. Judging by the newer rear window tacked in the front, this baby is like an AMC, made from many leftovers.
My best "guesstimate" would be that panel delivery started life as an International from sometime in the 1940's, but I'm probably wrong.
Maybe a side-trip to www.oldihc.org is in order.
Of course, Bill (Gastrick), will probably know exactly what it is, right down to the year and model...
Can't wait for the right answer!

SWEET!!! I knew Gastrick would know and have a pic!
That's a nice lookin' C-dan D-livery, BTW. Guess I should've went to www.stovebolt.com and looked at their gallery, instead of www.oldihc.org and looking at theirs!

Yep, but Shea was right about the wheels. That is a '36-'39 Ford wide five axle and wheels. Much like the previously-mentioned AMC, it is definitely a hodge-podge of parts!

I've got a set that I'm using on my next project. I have a set of 38 Standard caps for them.

That's cool man! I'm using them on my current project. I removed the hubcap clips & filled the holes. Using chrome bullet lugs & I am having a set of grease caps chromed. I like it...
Sorry for the hijack. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread...

I had one a few years (decades) ago. It had 47 bullit holes in one side. That's where I learned to hammer weld and shrink. I suppose it's till in the weeds somewhere north of Wall Drug.

Ok I decided to put it up on the open market. I'll treat any member from here right if you are the winning buyer. Thanks for all your help and for looking. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1937-1938-Chevy-Panel-Delivery-Truck-wagon-rat-trailer-/130450218027?pt=Salvage_Parts_Cars&hash=item1e5f705c2b

Some advice on listing & selling on Flea Bay. Start something like that at $1.00 and have a reserve if you need a certain amount for it. It will spawn more interest that way and be more likely to sell. It is rather cool looking.

I disagree, hidden reserves turn people off and very few items with hidden reserves ever sell. Buyers want to know where you're at pricewise. You wouldn't make some one guess how much it was if you were selling it locally.

I agree. Anytime i see an item i'm interested in and it says "reserve not met" i won't even bother bidding on it. Either put a "buy it now" price or a "best offer" price on it.

Thanks for the advice, but this isn't my first item I've sold on ebay.
