I remember the Texas Highway Dept. used them for their engineers. The last one I saw was about a 1950.

Speaking of Coupe Pickups brings to mind the Australian Utes. Here's one that is truck-based,which shows it's just the style they preferred.

Coupe Pickups:

Those coupes are Just too cool. Would these qualify as the first Elcaminos?

First El Caminos or Escalades. I'm curious what was done on the inside. Just open or sealed off some way? I like how they give you a little old stake pocket on each side.

Update on Early people Hauler made more progress. and picture before and now.

Wayne67vert · 01-20-2013, 11:18 PM

I love the heater. LOL

Very Nice!!

**special-K** · 01-22-2013, 07:30 AM

I love the historic value of that "motor stage". I look at that as a cool antique,then think of it's great importance as a daily service so valuable to so many in the early days of that region.

I have a few more pictures taken in front of the mural of the Hastie Bus.This mural is # 9 of 22 murals of history of the desert in 29 Palms.We drove the bus in the Pioneer Days parade and had a lot of fans.The last time the bus was in the parade was 1956.

Wayne67vert · 01-29-2013, 09:04 AM

What a great set of photos.

What does the description say on the mural? Do you have a close-up?

You made a terrific transformation to bring the bus back to life.

cru_zn_29 · 01-29-2013, 12:28 PM

I dont have a closeup. Google 29 Palms Murals and look at mural # 9 it is printed under the picture.

68panelman · 02-05-2013, 03:29 PM

Here's an old coal mover and real early mover! What do you suppose those canisters hanging on the front bumper are one the GMC?, Fire extinguishers?

Griffith is still operating today selling fuel oil. Not sure about those canisters. I believe I've seen them on trucks before.Possibly extinguishers,or maybe some sort of shock absorber? Totally guessing here. More likely they're extinguishers.

68panelman · 03-24-2013, 08:19 AM

Researched a little on my pic of the early GMC moving van above, and those canisters on the front are possibly a kerosene road flare dispenser. They smoke like mad during the day and flare at night, pretty neat I think.
