1952 GMC Panel Show Truck Project

1952 GMC Suburban PANEL

This 1952 GMC Panel was being built by a custom car in Southern California. He was known through Southern California for his show winning designs and custom car builds. He would always look for vehicles that were straight and rust free. Here had been building it with the intention of entering it in the Oakland Roadster Show where he had won numerous awards.Sadly in January of 2019 he passed away.I had the opportunity to purchase this panel from his wife earlier this year with the intention of building it for a client however the client was not able to move forward as intended and I have decided to offer it for sale as it sets.
As you look at the pictures, notice the custom, recessed firewall, and custom inner fenders. Also notice that the rear door handles have been removed and bear claw hinges with electric openers have been installed. The former owner had envisioned installing a Chevy big block with a 4L60-E automatic transmission so the recessed firewall and new transmission tunnel.
The all body panels have been fitted as well as the doors.Excellent door gaps etc. The doors have been modified for one-piece glass and I have new glass for the front doors and the original glass for the rear doors. There are several boxes of small parts. The truck is straight enough for Black or any other color for that matter.There is no engine, transmission, front suspension, wiring seat, front windshield, gauges or glove box door. Look at the pictures and feel free to ask reasonable questions.
I have been restoring and building antique and vintage cars and trucks professionally for over 40 years and I know that finding a G.M.C like this one that is arrow straight and 99.9% rust free is very difficult to do. There are no shortage of banged up, bondo filled, rust buckets out there for $4,000-$8,000 and up.The tires and wheels on the rear are brand new and the front is mounted on a very strong cross brace with large smooth rolling casters to make it easy to transport.

There is an open and clean California Title. I have a little over $7800.00 (including what it cost to transport it to my shop) into this panel as it sets. I am going to through caution to the wind and start the bidding with no reserve @ $4995.00 If it is not sold this listing, it will not be relisted.
