    I drove for REA EXPRESS in the 1960s. They had a lot of them. Box trucks and tractors. 🤗

    Very cool truck. There used to be a guy with that same color, that same truck but he had a roll back bed on it. Seems simple and cool.

    The circle V-6 emblem, is was 60-1,and I hope I am seeing that right,but it looks like it has the torsion bar front suspension, which was used from 60-62.

    not saying your wrong but I think it's a 61, I have one just like it with air brakes and the 401, GM trucks didn't have the V6 until 59 I believe

    Those were good old trucks but they were no match for the Ford C-Series against which they competed.
