    I used to drive one. It was in its second life.
    Would take its time pulling a hill

    As a fan of older IHC rigs, that I have owned, I always loved the classic lines of the Metros.
    That one is in pretty good shape.
    Cheaper to do one of those than the very cool DIVCO milk trucks.

    Anthony, I think you might want to tuck that front bumper a little closer to help with the looks and the aerodynamics............:p

  11. Yen. It’s just propped up.
    We plan to get it close then make a slice behind the bumper guard. Bring the ends in
    closer.
    Fab a filler under the grill

  12. That is a beauty! I think their trucks today still use similar colors.

    We have a guy in town that used to be an illustrator for children's books. He got burned out and decided on a late life career change. He bought one and created the "Donut Man". He sells out of his truck. He designed a giant wrap that is perfect.

    He gets it.
