From Spanky :

           I purchased this 1952 Chevrolet 3800 series 1-ton panel truck a couple of years ago from a retired truck driver who was from New Jersey. He had retired and moved to North Carolina several years ago. He had been showing this truck at our local American Truck Historical Society (ATHS) truck shows.

           This truck had been used in a couple of movies as a Police Paddy Wagon.

           The truck has its original tires with Continental Baking Company molded into the sidewalls. It has an original radio, jack, and jack handle.

           I've been using it for the last couple of summers to haul my lawn mower around.

           Spanky has a 1946 Chevrolet Holmes W35 Wrecker and another '52, a 1952 GMC 450 3-Ton COE Road Tractor in the Gallery. But he has way more than that ... be sure to check Spanky's Webshots album for lots more pictures of his extensive collection. ~~ Editor
