Quite the odd duck IMO. But that grille is timeless.

What I noticed first about the uPay ad is the Canadian vs. US currency. I thick it might be the first time I've seen the Canadian dollar worth more than the US dollar, C $3,300.00 vs. US $3,392.62. I don't like that.

We`ve had to live with it for years and your right, we didn`t like either.
At times it was totally ridiculous, as much as a third more cost.
Now the trouble now is selling to the US, we get less for our goods.
Guess we`re never happy.....

Oh I could just imagine what my wife would say if I brought that home and parked it in the drive way. My HOA would probably either break down and cry mercy or have me arrested.


One thing I heard about the dollar being low is that the Europeans are even making trips over to the US for spending sprees. As the Euro is also more then the US dollar.

Exclamation P350 Parcel Delivery

P35JU13976

P35 = P350 Parcel Delivery / 5,000 lb. Rear Axle Capacity / 8,000 GVWR

J = 223 I-6 1V

U = Louisville KY Ford Truck Assembly Plant

13976 = 1957

This is the first P350 I've ever seen with a chrome grille.

Some of the businesses that used these P/D's were: Frito-Lay, Webers Bread, and UPS thru 1975, when P Series production ended.
Many were later converted into campers.

Condor used the P/D chassis to build their early motor homes.

Most of those early "P" vans looked more like the old pressed metal toys than real Trucks.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one here that plays with legos.
