That one has been for sale for several years on and off. I was looking at it but ended up buying a 1950 Chevrolet Coke Delivery truck a few weeks ago. I don't have it home yet but hopefully in the next few weeks will get it here.

Love it ! I have a 1949 3800 1 ton flat bed I have been working on for the fast few years. Mine came with the single rear wheels.

Thanks guys, I love these old trucks as much as I do my Soda Machines. Just throw an old Westinghouse or a couple smaller coolers in the back to make it complete.

The Schmidt Museum had a beautiful 1960s model out front of their museum in the end. Yellow Red White with the fishtail logo. I've always thought that it would be cool to have one to drive around in parades. Fun to dream!
