Casey Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Saw this on eBay last night. Very nice. These would typically run a GM engine, either a V8 or inline six, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 This could also be a nice Haz Mat response fire unit or command unit. With Hostess making a comeback, it would also make a nice bread/snack truck too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackvision Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Make a real nice "TastyKake" delivery truck too! (northeast guys will get it)..................................................Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Saw this on eBay last night. Very nice. These would typically run a GM engine, either a V8 or inline six, correct? Ford or Chevy chassis and drive train, take your pick. Grumman built just the bodies, were adaptable to either make of light truck chassis.

southpier Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I know a plumber who has one for sale. "it ran when I parked it" and he's using it as a storage shed for his bicycles. wants like $1,800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Neat, I've been after one of these from Uptown for years, he never seemed to be able to get them in long enough to take new orders.I know what I'll be asking for this Christmas. Hmmm rescue, hazmat, dive team, mobile shop?I know a plumber who has one for sale. "it ran when I parked it" and he's using it as a storage shed for his bicycles. wants like $1,800.There is a 1950s or early 60s GMC step van on my way to work, pretty tired looking but restorable. Has $2500 painted on the windshield, it has been there for a couple of years now... Cool looking truck though, would make a neat RV.Is this an improved Dannon yogurt?gregI believe it started out that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 its done! the master was supplied by jim amato at uptown automotive. after a bit of clean up and a few mods. its ready for consumption. Looks to me to be a standard height 12' Grumman Step Van with the standard 38" rear doors. I would love to do one in the standard aluminum finish.
