Pete, your '51 is the best looking "ugly" truck I've ever seen . Vic

Well I like the pickups and panels. I have been driving mine in 95+ temps and not had a problem with overheating in my seat so far. I have to pay more attention to both mirrors though.

I vote pickup. Would love to have one. A lot more versatile than a panel, IMHO.

It depends what I need from Home Depot that day!

I have a '72 Chevy Pickup, and a '50 Suburban. I guess in a 1939 I'd want a pickup.

My vote goes to a 39 Sedan Delivery. It's a Standard and my wife thinks it's ugly so it doesn't get much shop time. It seems to be a good place to store parts such as old seats. Bob

I know that you are a big guy, 6 foot plus and nearly 300 if I remember correctly. There is no way a man your size is going to be comfortable in a pick up truck cab. Plus I am biased since I have a panel already.

Owning a '40 Pickup and a '47 Sedan Delivery, I'd have to say the sedan delivery is the most practical, but the pickup is more fun to drive.

In fact, so practical, I bought my first new car in 41 years, using the '47 as a guide. My choice was a Chevy HHR Panel with no rear side windows or rear seats. Perfect for swap meets, which is what I used the '47 for. Get tired, pull over and take a snooze in the back if your not carrying a load. If you're loaded it's still good for doin' the same thing .
