Divco
One of the upcoming projects for the shop is a very original and solid Divco milk truck. The rust issues are limited to some very minor spots just behind the doors at the bottom of the body.
Today, some strong storms rolled through the area with tornado watches all over. The Divco owner called me shortly afterward to let me know the scope of the work has changed somewhat...             They should get the barn removed from the truck in the next week or so, I'll get a better assessment of the damage then...

Re: Divco
Arg, as much as we like pics, nobody should have to see something so horriffic.
I looks like it can still be saved. Good luck.

Re: Divco
That was/is a killer divco.
Hope it can be saved with as much originality retained as possible.

Re: Divco
Thanks for the comments guys. As solid as this truck is our plans are to straighten all the panels. Well the Divco has been removed from the barn rubble so I went and got a better overview of the damage. To give a perspective, this is the truck.....
 The only damage that needed repair prior to the barn blowing over, were these two rust spots, the first in front of the passenger side door, and the second, the bubbling coming through just in front of the driver's door...   Other than that, natta, zilch. The roof was perfect, all the other panels were perfect, just needed paint. Here's the extent of the storm/barn damage, starting at the driver's front corner.. Hood....   Drivers A-post at the windshield, also about peeled off the mirror....  Panel in front of driver's door...  Driver's door buckled at hinge....  Bracket and door track that supports the driver's door...  Also note outward buckle behind the driver's door at the top..  Drip rail and door stop on rear.....  Passenger rear corner....  Roof....    Ceiling panels and supports.... The passenger side seems to have gone virtually unscathed. Looks like we have our work cut out for us...

Re: Divco
So sad but definitely still worth saving. It's just so cool
