Tom Geiger Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Thank you Gary & Tom. Since I haven't seen a Divco in many, many years, Gary, I have no idea what stock would look like. What's non-stock about my build?http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/5196053377.htmlI've seen a few over the years. When I still lived in NJ there was a nicely restored one being used commercially by a tile installer. That made sense since the tile guy would have small but heavy loads... kinda like the milk the Divco was designed to carry!Above is a link to one I've seen locally here in PA. It was used for years by a chimney sweep. Price is a bit ambitious though!

gatorincebu Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Nice job on the paint and foil ! I knew a guy years ago that had one he made into kind of a camper surf vehicle. After looking at your.I thought .Hey you could make this into a tin woodie! Be Well Gator

After looking at your.I thought . Hey you could make this into a tin woodie! Many years ago there was a TV show that may have lasted a season. It was called "Medicine Ball" and it was about young doctors. One of them lived in the hospital parking lot in a Divco camper. Always thought about that when I see a Divco. And one tin woody per your thought! Edited September 19, 2015 by Tom Geiger
PatW Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Wow Jim I like your Divco truck a lot. I've looked at one of these Flintstones body's for some time, yours is inspiring me to get one, thanks for sharing.
crazyjim Posted September 20, 2015 Author Posted September 20, 2015 Thank you Patrick. Dairyland Express kits by Testors are out there. It's a Jimmy Flintstone resin cast and that's another possibility.
1930fordpickup Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Great build JIm. The last time I was in Detroit for the toy show Jimmy Flintstone was selling just the body again. I think the testers kit has wheels with it.
crazyjim Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 Thanks Andy. Yes, the Testors kit has wheels & tires.
jeffbrad Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Ron Cash, there's a name I haven't heard for a while. Met him back in the early 90's at a shop in Barberton Ohio. Very nice guy and he did killer stuff. Died way too soon. Would be very interesting to see what he'd be up to now 20 years later.

I knew him because he was one of the vendors at NNL East. The last year he was there I remember him that morning before the show opened, sitting in the food area eating a breakfast sandwich, grinning ear to ear!
