DANG!!! My Dad has one like that when I was a kid. Only his was green and no where near that straight and shiny. We called it the panel wagon. Actually I think that the proper name. Nice rig. Thanks for sharing.

Iām happy to see it restored rather than have the top-chopped and lowered as in SoCal.
Right?š

The proper name is a Suburban if it has windows and a panel truck if it doese'nt have the rear side glass.

My guess would be 39 to 40???
Forget about a lot of the 40s. They didn't make cars during WWII. From the fender style I think it might be a 54. My brother had one in convertible that we ran on the farm road

Google 54 and 55 Chevys first series suburbans and pickups and compare the grills 47 thru 53 panels and trucks have the same grill like the one in the picture. The second series 55 is a totally different body style.

got away from whitewalls as most car owners had a hard time parking along curbs, to where the sidewalls would get scuffed an d beat up , destroying the clean sidewall of the tire.

Remember the curb finders we used to put on our cars? I remember my first car, I had black wall tires but I put on a set of (I think they were called) Porta-Walls. Made the car look like it had white wall tires.
When that old Chevy was made, you could do almost any work under the hood with not much more than just a screwdriver and a pair of pliers. Todays cars require thousands of dollars worth of special tools - and a college education!

Tune ups were easy on the Chevy.
For the dwell setting you just opened the little window on the distributor cap use an allan wrench and watched the meter until it was right.
