Just wondering if anyone had seen the panel truck in the latest issue of "Vintage Truck" magazine, and if anyone had any thoughts on it.

Cool must have been a special order to have the extra height .Would be cool to have the history of the business that originally purchased it .

I have that issue and it does not resolve the issue. They want any input to find out.

According to the article, it appears that the owner was able to compile a list of all the owners down through the truck's history, but not any info as to who constructed it.

Rear doors were elongated.
As opposed to bringing the roof down to the doors.

Must of been hauling something that was tall.
That needed extra headroom.

Ambulance is a good guess. Maybe theres a hole in the roof, like a popemobile? grin

Dan sent us a picture of that truck back when he got it (before the restoration), and we featured it on the site as well as in a calendar or two. Haven't heard from him in a while but I did remember the truck.
