..... the doors do raise. As I mentioned, if you look close it almost looks like a canopy express with the doors added. I was a "friend of the library" for many years and build some stuff for them and got to see some old stuff stored away from years gone by but no panel truck. The first one I can remember was the "van" type that came around to the schools.
Here is my grammar school where I went 1st through 4th. Heated with wood and coal. Picture about 1948 I think.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
