I like it. Imagine using the box for a service truck, but keeping the exterior paint scheme, lol.

That truck's only a few miles from where I grew up. I may have chased after it as a kid! What a crabby seller, though.

That front end on the fire truck would make a killer lifted 4X4.

Cool Ice cream truck, I have seen a few of those at the AACA Hershey show.
A few years back somebody had a 53' and a 55' Good Humor trucks there. I think they were looking for 50k for one. Open cab a real fair weather vehicle.
I saw a 48-50 F1 Good Humor Ice cream truck at the Henry Ford Village father's day show about ten years ago. The guy had a ice cream uniform on to. Talk about cool Americana....

Funny how, when growing up and that ice cream truck came by, that all I saw was the cooler; never noticed the truck. Now, the first thing I see is the truck!

Growing too old too fast,
