I was at the Sun-Drop bottler in Shawano, WI yesterday and I spotted an old delivery truck when I was leaving. It is from Celo Bottling in Sauk City, WI. Celo's owner passed away this past winter, so the plant is closed. It looks like it needs a little body work, but still is a neat looking vehicle.
What year do you think it is?

I'm thinking more mid to late 70's, the front grill resembles a friend of mine's 74 Chevy pickup, and I don't believe they started added reflectors in the front fenders until the last few years

I don't think they did that in the late 70's... |

I think they started the side lights in 1968. It looks like a 68 or 69 to me. Cool old truck though !!!!

That ones seen some duty, looks like it wasn't retired until recently based on the weight placard being displayed. Late 60's.

My vote is with the early 70's (71-73).

I don't think the truck is for sale. I wish I saw it before I bought my stuff, then I would have asked about it (the young guy I talked to was kind of talkative). I bet that they bought the truck to fix up and use in parades and stuff. Also, I don't think the widow got rid of any signs. There is a neat sign in this article. I had no idea that they sweetened soda with celery before!

It's either a 67 or 68. You can tell from the grill and doors. We had one a couple of years ago that was a delivery truck.
