Hard to beat the old Divco trucks for style, IMO.

I saw a GMC school bus like the yellow Chevrolet about an hours drive outside of Montreal near the U.S. Border. Bus body mounted on a one ton frame. Very different.

I'm dating myself, but remember a time in my childhood when those Divco trucks actually delivered milk in a wire rack to the front porch. I always thought they were very cool looking. And the family doctor even made house calls!

Yep....I remember those days too.

Back to this Chevy...I would love to have a truck like that. I need something like that for swap meets and flea markets.

In New Orleans the local milk company was Bordens on Ailine Hwy., and I too remember the glass quart jars. I've seen diaper delivery, but not for me obv. just others.
