Identity crisis

Hi Everybody,

I'm starting a new business and have been looking for an interesting company truck. While at the LA Roadster show this last weekend I saw this amazing vehicle. I searched the internet and found nothing. But I did find this Forum.
Snapped some photos.
What model is it and where could I find one (any condition).

Keep the revs up,
Chas

With a cabover front clip? It looks cool as hell!!

Doesn't it though

I've been beating the bushes online and have not found any info on this model. When I looked at the vehicle in person it appeared original except for being lowered and the aftermarket wheels.

Any Ford truck history professors out there?

Keep the revs up,
Chas

I doubt he will be back on here.

He decided on his own to do something really stupid.

Thanks Mil1ion, There are some very intereesting COE on that link.

I don't think the van in my photos is a custom worked over body. The proportions are to symetrical to have started life as COE heavy duty truck.
The van in question looks to be a Ford factory, scaled down version of the 1938-39 COE trucks.

I just saw a panel van like that minus the front nose make a run on PINKS...the guy in the camaro racing him was a little ticked....

Hi Flareside,

I'll set the tivo to record Pinks in hopes of seeing the episode.
Thanks for the info.
