other than pick-ups, panel vans and the like– the vehicle companies just built the chassis and cab of many of those pictured
there are hundreds of “body builders” out there that build standard and custom bodies for those chassi/cabs
Yep, my Beaver Motor Coach is built on a GILLIG chassis with a Chebbie 427 truck gas engine and an Allison 4-speed auto transmission. Since Gillig is still making busses, I can still get parts…
Extra credit if you can tell me the difference between a Chebbie “regular” 427 engine and a “truck” 427 engine! I had to do some research.
Man, I do remember that telephone truck.
A wonderful group of old Forest Service rigs. But my personal favorite is the beautiful PacBell service truck. I’m old enough to remember seeing them on the road, and old enough to remember what a party line was. I must be old.
Anyone know what that olive Bell pickup is? An IH, maybe?
