A '59[?] grille?!
Really reminds me of that one other (sorry dave) prototype van. Neat photo! Thanks for posting!

It appears to have a very short wheelbase and high steering wheel, perhaps like a ZipVan. But, ZipVans were all right-hand drive and the steering wheels were lower. I see a solid front axle, too. Was there a special truck chasis for vehicles like this? What company made the body?

What a great little camper that would make.

It appears to be a 3/4 ton rated unit (by examining the wheels), but the wheelbase is no more than 112" (it does look shorter) which was the shortest truck wheelbase available in 1960. [8)][?]

Tough to tell the wb of the van with the side door being open and the angle of the photo. A neat van though. [8D]

I like the collection of Studebaker items they threw on the front of this box.

Neat '59 only, Lark Grille.

Then there's the '56-'61 "Studebaker" script and the '55 Truck hood ornament. [^]

They always had good baked stuff. Bill Brown from our Ohio Region SDC used to drive for them. Also, when I grew up in NW PA, our neighbor had baked goods delivered to their door by Nickles Bakery; this would have been the '60's. I remember a similar-sized truck but don't remember it being a Studebaker (I think I would have, but maybe not).

Don't tell me!! You phoned and asked them if that van was still parked back behind the shop??

What Bill means is this truck makes him want a donut. I know it has done the same thing to me. Now I have to stop on the way to work and get a full Nickles' box.

This would be a nice addition to my collection and neat to tool around town in. Also would be a great plce to store all of my parts and other stuff for my cars and trucks. I like it a lot.

See you in the future as I write about our past

They always had those neat bags of those great little glazed donuts that looked like a tractor tire, know what I mean?!

Of course, those would be 'crullers'[]

Bob, that is it!!!! For some reason I'm thinking now that Nickles' called their bags of those, "Donut Fair".
