    Found this little jewel the other day and am trying to decide if I need to add it to my stack of projects.

    About a 1950?? or so Divco Milk (not MILF) Truck. Mostly there except window or two. Little flathead four banger.

    Anybody got any wheels that might fit, have not yet measured B.C.

    Thanks, Keith

    Hell if you don't want it you should still pick it up and sell it to somebody who does, People around here are scrapping these old cars as quick as they can.

    A MILF truck would be a good thing to buy, but this is just as cool.

    Not sure if its the angle, but this one seems to be rather stubby.
    But in a truck like this, thats a good thing.

    Get it, drop in a beater powertrain, make it stop, and drive it!

    Very cool. Don't know what it is or what I'd do with it. But it looks to be in fairly good shape. So, heck yes, I'd get it.

    Stubby is a good way to describe this deal. Plenty short WB.

    OK, I knew what I would get back from you guys. Wish me luck, got to figure out some wheels to bolt on to load it. Or a big ole creeper!!

    Thanks, K

    you could easily make that into a MILF truck and would be very fitting

    With a little effort, that COULD be a MILF truck.

    Make it drive, throw a little RV gear in the cargo areola (bed, sink, fridge), and you're there! The ultimate swap meat van.

  13. It looks like Bobby Green,has already been there.;) A commercial truck tire dealer,should be able to help you find new or used,wheels and tires for it.
     
  14. Buy It!! When is the last time you've seen another one?
     
  15. I talked with a guy last summer with one and he said everyone and his brother wanted to buy the thing... he's using it for storage and doesn't want to sell. If you don't want it, you can probably flip it and make a few bucks.
     
  16. its gotta be kool if they make a hot wheels car of it right ?? :D

    Looks like it has the "Quality checked "sign on the side. it is a very sharp looking truck. I like the idea of as swapmeet camper/hauler. I like the short wheelbase also. Never seen one that short. Get it or tell where it's at. TP

  19. I would buy it, what a great project. The stubby one's are great Hotrod fodder.

    You clowns are great!!! Just got back from working the deal with the guy, will make a neat little ride. I knew I had to gather it up but you guys got me off of high center.

    This guy had an auction at his dad's closed up wrecking yard, 60 yrs in the same place. Milk Truck not in the auction but I made a private treaty with him.

    He told me tonight that he had a huge box of "historical documents" dating back to the 20's. Will try and work a deal on that too. Thanks again, K
