Re: 1951 Chevy Bobtail
Nice truck, kind of an odd use for a 5 window. I have always heard those called Cube Vans. I expected something like a 1.5 ton short wheel base wrecker frame.

Re: 1951 Chevy Bobtail
The guy I bought it from put the box on it. It is a new version. WOrks for me because I am going to label it up for my business and store show stuff in it. I assumed it was a stake bed in an earlier life but really don't know much about these trucks. Bought it on a whim at an auction. I thought it was a seven window. It has two in the rear corners and a small center in the back.
