Good luck in your search!
Thanks Joe. I will try do that. Hopefully he hasn't sold it yet and I will keep on looking for others. If you stumble over one yourself or hear from someone about this kind of truck please let me know? I will keep you and everybody else upposted.
Still, more tips are always welcome

Not a Ford, and not an REA. But close. A 1954 REO Speedwagon rescue service truck. Stu

ultimate vintage food truck opportunity

You should look into having the steel body fabricated in Sweden. No shipping. The front post or A pillar looks like a 1/4 round cut from maybe 4" pipe. That square horizontal rib could be really strong with 1/8" wall square tubing. Looks like door jambs square tubing. Fill in with sheet metal. All flat, all square including the glass. Sweden has a long history with iron and steel work. You could get a really nice '40-'41 tonner with no bed from ss stan in Canada. He says he sells his trucks. So much easier to ship and the box would not need any repairs.

Thank's Truck dog for the tip! Nice truck! B Iut think that one is a little bit to heavy for the swedish law for how heavy a vehicle may be for the type of licence I have (and most of the swedes have). I think you call it 3/4 ton truck (but i'm not sure) but in sweden the weight is in kg(kilogram) not lbs and we have a limit of 3500 kg (around 7700lbs). Over that we have to take a special licence.

Thank you everybody for the tips! I really appreciate it! Any tip is still welcome! The weight has to be less than 7716lbs (swedish not-so-funny-laws). over 7716lbs you have to have a special driving license

I would try getting in contact with the seller through Ebay.

If you need some help with it I'm 8 hours away from there. There might be someone closer though.
Thank' you! Really appreciate it! I will sent him an E-mail.

Interesting headlight buckets on that one Ken. I guess the originals disappeared when they scalloped the fenders.
