dinerd Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Beautiful truck! Is it stock original or is it modernly upgraded underneath? Thanks for the info, however I have tried that site on many occasions and it seems that it is not current and up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwellens Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 The 51 panel has 30,000 miles and is all stock. Only things that have been done to the truck were the outside repainted the same color and new tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlzo Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Wonderful 51 Dodge Panel Truck! Even more wonderful that you have kept it stock! My brother is a die hard Dodge man and an ultimate truck fanatic - he would be in heaven with this vehicle! If it ever needs a new home, he would treasure it like a first born son!

keiser31 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 hwellens....what a sweet little truck you have there. I love the originality of it and that you drive it. Any idea as to what it's history is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwellens Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I am the second owner. Got it near St Louis about 25 years ago. The guy that bought it new used it for hunting and kept it garaged. Had 23,000 original miles on when I got it. Hopped on a plane to St Louis and drove it home to Maryland (825 miles)in August with no problems.

awt Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hi guys. My name is Alan Tudor and I have a 1937 Dodge Humpback Panel truck. It was rodded years ago with a chevy engine. It is rust free and in beautiful condition except for one ripped front fender and the grill is bad. If anyone knows of a good 37 grill, I would appreciate hearing from them. My plan is to install a mopar driveline and make a Harley Hauler out of it. It will be stock looking outside with Harley grafics and blackand orange colors. My e-mail address is alan@hubel.com.

36humpback Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hi guys. I have a 36 humpback that I am restoring. Its a long process. I'm trying to make it as original as possible. I have a page on blogspot you can go to to see pics of it and pages on a couple of other humpbacks. it is:http://www.1936dodgepanel.blogspot.com/As far as I know I'm the 4th owner. originally was owned by Walla Walla Steam laundry in Washington state, then a bakery thatmy dad worked at. He bought it when I was about 2, and I inherited it from his estate 5 years ago. I have found most all the big items except for the original seats, but have no idea on what the roof insert looks like or how its installed. I'm in the process of getting an original bellhousing (I hope) for the 3 speed tranny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48 panel Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hello to all, Hwellens, would you happen to have a top door stop bracket for the drivers side for a 48-53 one I am also looking for a complete set od 51-53 tail lights I have a 48 that I am working on Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwellens Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 48 Panel - I do not have any extra door stop brackets or tail lights. I thought the tail lights were different on a 48; they are on the back door. I can send you a picture of any part if you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dan01.wilson Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I have this 1949 B-1-B Panel and I also have my Grandfather's 1951 B-3-B Pickup. If you own two of these ugly things, does it make you a collector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you own two of these ugly things, does it make you a collector?Thats Old man Shumways panel! The Shu-ma-Doggie truck! We all used to stand around and drink Budweisers while he drank and welded on it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dan01.wilson Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Is Shumway still around? I bought his old panel at a no-reserve auction here in Birmingham, Alabama. A guy in Reno, Neveda owned it for almost 20 years and sold it on ebay to a guy in Las Vegas a couple of years ago.It is still a good old truck. I put in a new speedometer cable and went through the generator (both bearings were bad). I found a two-speed electric wiper setup but haven't installed it yet. Other than that, just oil change/ service, and drive to shows and cruise-ins. Excellent oil pressure, everything works, etc.I would sell the panel in order to concentrate on my PaPa's '51 if anybody is interested.Dan Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
