1961 Other Makes Description

This is a rare, all aluminum, never been painted, vintage Grumman Olson step van on a Fordchasesthat has had all of the mechanical upgrades done. 'Every-day-driver' condition, ready for you to install your own cargo interior or leave it as-is. I've had my fun with it and I've come to terms with moving her on to someone else to have fun with her. This truck gets photographed A LOT and is an extreme attention getter, so if you shun attention - don't buy this! Imagine your brand or company on the side and how noticed it will be!
She runs great, drives great and comes ready for you to peel off my sticker/wrap and install yours. FYI, under the sticker/wrap is a painted logo of a local wine store - pictures of both signs below. NOTE: The pictures of the truck with the wide white walls are older. Those tires and rims were replaced with new wheels and tires, but I still have the wheels and wide white wall tires which will be included with the truck.
