Sand through that paint and see if you can find the original paint and maybe a company logo or name. Someone saved it for a reason. It may have some regionally significant, nostalgic value.
From the '30s up until '69, Helms Bakery sold fresh bread daily in residential streets throughout southern California. They were a sponsor of the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles and used the name, Olympic Bread.

They used these trucks up until 1962 and switched to a Chevy Panel Truck. They closed up in 1969.
There is one of the early Divco coaches in the Peterson Hot Rod museum in LA.
I read that a restored early truck is worth a lot of DOUGH.
