Hi benny, welcome to DSK. You have a double door panel van - the windows have been cut in. It has high hinge doors, which makes it no later than '61, and if the front indicators and bumpers are original to the bus it will be '59 or later. Let us know the numbers and put some pics up of the back of the bus - someone here will be able to tell you the year. All the best with the resto.
Cheers, Ben

ooookay..... That shit will buff out Benny.

Its a 59 or a 60. Ribbed bumpers went to 58 and semaphores (which I assume used to be there going on the aftermarket side indicatos) stopped in 60.

Hmm.. Didnt notice that. Smooth cargos finished early 57 I believe. Things dont seem to be matching. Have to wait for numbers I think. John? Steve?

Numbers can lie when your bus is a couple of old busses welded together - as I found out!

Belly pans were standard on double doors and sunroof models. Its to stop them snapping in half!
