Can anyone tell me about this truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Believe it to be a '63 or '64, so I posted here. Anyway, truck is sitting in my grandparent's barn, it's an aluminum body (Grumman-Olson) stovebolt 6 truck with a 4 speed, ran and was on the road less than 10 years ago, still starts right up but the fuel lines need replaced.
Just curious to collect any info I can about it

There are a few guys on the stovebolt page, who used to work on those and a few guys who have them.

I"m not sure about this, but I think they were called a "Metro" step-van.

Looks an old UPS truck.

This particular truck was employed by Twin City Laundry (not really sure where that was) in its former life. There were 3 or 4 of these that my grandfather owned at one time, I believe one of them was a UPS truck

According to what I've learned over at the stovebolt forum, it is a Kurb Side, either a Clipper T3-10 or Peak Loaded T3-12, I need to check a few things to confirm the model. Apparently, they were built from 3/4 ton trucks and rated at 1 1/4 ton payload.

Anyway, here's another picture I uploaded of the dash
