Found this DIVCO and 3 others a**** some other old cars sitting in northern Michigan while on a color tour this past weekend. No one around to ask questions about the cars....kool setting, high on a hill.
After I got out of the Army I worked as a mechanic for a dairy in SoCal for while. Worked on many Divco's (Detroit Industrial Vehicle Company) The dairy at one time had 100's of them. Most had the old Continental sixes replaced with Ford 300's. The milkmen drove the piss out of them but they kept on chugging along in spite of the abuse.
any people living nearby would suffer with mice for the next few months, or years if someone ever cut that gr***
From my youth I could picture the Milkman delivery guy either standing or siting down driving. I would guess that the Go Peddle would have to be in more that one location? What is this sliding Gas Pedal you speak of. Pictures Anyone?
