Found another angle:

Re: Something different thread

Anyone have pictures of the 1948-1955? Chevy or Gmc that could go to the swap meet or another venue and sell out of the side of the truck as it was cut open.

You asked and you shall be rewarded ...

Re: Something different thread

Thank you. Couldn't remember what they were called.

Re: Something different thread

Officially those are a model 3107 Canopy Express. Usually used by produce vendors when they were new. Set up pretty well the way you see on the blue and green ones. Racks to display fresh fruit and produce with your other stock in the bed under the display racks. In some areas they may have gone door to door and in others they may have stopped in a spot just as a lot of vendors do (at least around here) today. We have people who set up on corners and sell various produce all up and down the Yakima valley. Quite often it's what the folks who came up from Mexico are looking for but it can be oranges or watermelons or fresh corn or cherries.

Re: Something different thread

those look like the kind of bus used in National parks

Re: Something different thread

Wow. Very cool. Of course I'd like to meet the stoner that built it...

Seriously, I'd love to know more about it. It's built so well that Google Image Search thinks it's a real truck and brings up other pictures of AD trucks.

Re: Something different thread

Awesome. Lets keep them coming :)

Re: Something different thread

How about a '51 bus with roof addition?

Re: Something different thread

Thought this was cool.

Re: Something different thread

You have to wonder how many of those VW vans they killed in the 60's and 70's sticking them on those old buses. Either for more head room or in some cases a sleeping area up there.

That wrecker is just flat sweet.

And a cool panel in the background!

i googled the top one, it is a 40/41
i've been in the 1952 futureliner that was rebuilt in indiana, it was at a stop on the 2012 power tour. it had to be the most impossible vehicle to drive with your head 13 ft up in the air and in the center cockpit

Re: Something different thread

1940 is the first gen Futureliner, I read they were all refurbished in 1953. PeterPan buslines is selling a rebuilt one and a rusty carcass for $1M.
They remind me of bookmobiles, so Here's some bookmobiles...

Re: Something different thread

Futurliners rusting away.

i followed along with the rebuild of the one i visited, i wouldn't attempt to rebuild one.
those were some dedicated souls. it's great they saved one, but it's a museum piece,
nothing practical about it
