(My wife wants one... honest, she does  !) I have been looking for a web site or something to figure out what year and such it is but have not had much luck. In case anybody here knows, here are the numbers I found on it 300D 00720. I know the 300D is the model, but what does the D mean? I know there were other letters available and I was wondering what they meant. I would also like to know what engine it would have had, Continental or F*#d, that and the rad are the only things missing. I am sure with all the "knowledge" :rolleyes: here someone has to know! Thank you for any help!  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | Search the archives for "Divco". Also, Vintage Truck Magazine does an article on delivery trucks every issue, may want to contact them and see what info they could provide. That's about all I know about Divco,

My grandfather bought a used midsixtys model good runner wound up selling or giving it to a VFW post that used it for years to hold cold meats for fund raising bbq's | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 50 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 50 | I bought a book on divco's out of vintage truck.published by antigue power. It's interesting reading even if you don't have a divco. A model D is said to be the same as a C but listed as 11000 lbs. gvw. They also list ,unconfirmed that the 300d was produced from 1968-1975,and after 75 the records get scarce. My .02$ also restored divecos look cool. :hammering: It hurts to type!!!

Where the older line is I am not sure.  Thanks for all the info so far, and yes it will be restored to as near original as I can afford!  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,144 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,144 | I guess the hand clutch was for when delivery man wanted to stand up while making door to door home deliverys. have seen movies showing that but don't recall whether or not they were divcos and didn't notice how cltch was set up. those movies would have been from the 30's and 40's. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,986 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,986 | "Vintage Truck" magazine still has that book available. I'd recommend getting a copy. It's a good read, and will probably answer a lot of your questions. | | |
