      Almost looks like a Stude truck rear bumper on the front.

        Brings back memories. I spent ten years of my life working for a local dairy maintaining a fleet of those.

          One of the nicest (if not the nicest) tire chocks I've ever seen.

            As my father sold the insurance on all the local dariy trucks, we had home delivery of milk in a Divco like this untill the early 1970s. He also had a local electrical contractor trucks insured and in the 1950s their fleet of a dozen, was entirely Studebakers. Lehman's Electrical in Huntington Indiana, if anyone has pictures.

              Since it is dairy truck could it be a block of cheddar cut on the angle and double-tasking?

                A wheel chock was one of the requirements for all vehicles on display at that meet, and that was what was supplied if one didn't bring their own. I suppose a concrete-filled milk carton would have been more appropriate for a Divco, right?
