I've spent the last year researching woodies and have yet to come across a
woody panel truck. 'Sounds like a keeper to me! The price isn't out of line
if the wood is suitable for patterns, the metal's good, and the unique
woodie hardware is all there.
Here are some links that may be useful to those interested in woodies:

Well, thanks to responses from Mark Noakes and Kevin Lake, it appears
that there was such an animal as a woody panel truck, although
apparently very rare. Thank you both for your help.
This leads to another question. Would anyone out there happen to know
anything about the Cantrell company that made aftermarket bodies for
suburbans and panels? How about literature or pics of any of their work?
I am starting to get excited about this one...............always have
been fond of the rare ones. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brad Newman
