A 1953... Up in Auburn, CA.
auburn historical truck 1953 hi
Ben in Austin (SF this week)

My vote is for the Denver truck, and send the '40 up my way.

The interior is very cramped, but nicely done. It's built as sort of a novelty tribute.

Looks like a good price if the engine turns over, like it says in the ad.

This bus was found in an earlier post and had a price tag of $1200-1500. The body is too far gone.

Sitting in a back lot for a year must have made it better because now the seller thinks it's worth $2500. I guess he's confusing a rotting bus with fine wine.
It's restorable, most panels are flat sheet metal. I rebuilt a lot of bus panels when I worked in a truck body shop. It still will take a lot of work though.

Bob, I'll buy it, but only if you could restore it.

It would make a nice little bus to drive around. Wish I was closer, the price was lower and had the money.

Sounds like you've just found a new retirement fund, Bob.

Hi 51PanelMan
I'm not certain if you are still in the market for one...
