It was last seen on southbound I-95 in Delaware in the summer of 1989 on the way to Eugene Lichtmann's collection.It's not known if he ever did anything with it.[/quote]



WOW!!! I would have never thought that was a GMC chassis nor would I have thought that was a '58. I figured it started out as a stock C-1000 or so chassis, with the cab being built up on "stilts" or something like that, and then the body being built around it. No wonder they didn't use the GMC tilt-cab instead. BTW: that Kokomo, IL open cab Snorkel is interesting; CAT 3208 engine I guess?
