The step vans used the model #p. P10 is 1/2 ton. P20 3/4 ton etc. Most of the bread trucks are p30. There is several co,s that make the bodies. Grumman & Union City are the most popular. The mechanical parts are mostly interchangeabe with the conventional trucks. See www.millsupply.com

Any idea where most manufacture put their stamp or name plate? Inner door frame?
My Dad which is in Oklahoma found one but doesn't have any pictures of it yet. He isn't as stovebolt orientated as my self (which isn't saying much about me). Too bad we didn’t have a section in the stovebolt Gallery just for step vans. I know they are diapering fast.

Now I guess I just have to buy a ticket to OK soon

Grumman usually has the plate up above the windshield. If the wiper motor is up there it is on the mounting bracket. That first one TM2c showed was a Southern Coach. The 2nd one looks like a Grumman-Olson often called Kurbmaster. I specialized in step van service & sales for 30 years.

I worked as an extra for a year for Holsom Bread out of Shreveport La. (1962) when I was 19. We drove a few step vans (all Chevies) on the larger routes. However most of our trucks were the box type, Chevy 1 tons with a box. I also worked between college semesters for a bread company and delivered into southern Oklahoma. We used only the 1 tons there, all fords.
Hope this helps.
