Mark,
I found at least one other truck from that purchase contract:
Does your tag look like the one on this truck?The Eagle with the stars is the DOD acceptance cartouche. The contract number doesn't conform to current contract nomenclature standards, but the DA means it was a Dept of the Army contract. Which makes sense even if it was an Air Force truck as the Army used to (and may still in most cases if I remember correctly -- I work with aircraft, not ground vehicles) act as the acquisition systems command for wheeled ground transportation (non-tactical, or in this case, and civilian sourced -- or what we call Commercial Off The Shelf Procurement today
. My '88 G-20 van I bought surplus has the same tag (different contract, though). A multi-year contract (probably the same thing as what we call an "IDIQ" Contract today -- Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite quantity, for you contracting geeks out there) would provide different makes and models across several model years, so having a '59 and a '62 on the same contract is not surprising.
