Buchans Bread

"Amazing" is well said, but bordering on almost "magical".

This older post seems to indicate 1950 being a single plate year. If not, there are some additional sources for research. http://forums.aaca.org/f169/ny-license-plate-questions-218178.html and here is the NY DMV info: http://dmv.ny.gov/org/forms/mv440v.pdf

That's awesome! All this technology and 'changing times' makes me feel like my kids have been cheated. Find me a time machine! Hi yo Silver, and away!

and why are so many people wearing 'bags' over their heads?

I have found Jim Carter to be a good source, as well. http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/ I agree with the above statement regarding VCCA. Another 'treasure chest' is the Stovebolt Forums http://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/. Best of Luck!

I'll see your bus and raise you a tartan.

I sent you a PM. I have quite a bit of information regarding your truck. Best. A

That is awesome. Congratulations!

What about Year in Bread Trucks? '57 was a pretty good year! The one in the middle will become the one on the left, in the not to distant future.

Too many of my own (unfinished) treasures Dave. I am not sure my wife calls them 'treasures'...

Maybe a little camping in the islands? Yes these are still used.. .

I drive quite a few miles, every week, along the not-so-traveled roads of WA State. Sometimes I run across some mans treasures, other times, some mans junk. Thought I might throw a couple photos of what I ran across today... just in case it piques anyone's interest...

It says $29 this morning.

The 'stamps' would represent every time it was taken off the bus and put on a different vehicle...If it is a part that is very rare with the possibility of not finding another, I would spend the money for FedEx and try to minimize your risk!

Greyhound is the most affordable, but it does have some issues of which I became familiar with, the hard way. I had a pair of fenders sent here (Seattle area) from Ozark, MO. Things I discovered were: 1. the insurance limit on Greyhound is $300. 2. the tracking is very poor, if at all and you are pretty much at their mercy. and 3. with larger packages, they ship on a per space basis. In other words, if they stop in HoleintheWall, UT and need the space for suit cases, they will pull your fenders. Then they are 'supposed' to place them back on the next bus through. However, in my case, it took exactly 30 days for my fenders to make the trip and the Greyhound agent said he has no idea where they were or why it took so long. The box looked like it became a coffee table somewhere in the Midwest. When I sold two rear doors for a '36 panel truck to a fellow in OH, he went ahead and paid $200 (compared to $75) to ship it FedEx and put better insurance and tracking on it. Best of luck to you.

The surf is up on the Great Salt Lake? The truck to the left has a 1950 Utah license plate! Maybe its the cocktail the 'beach bum' is holding.

Maybe you do need a passport in Ohio, but not in Washington State, Vermont, New York, or Michigan. Enhanced Drivers Licenses: What Are They? | Homeland Security Good luck to you.

In Washington State, we can get what is called an 'Enhanced License' which costs an extra $15 from the DMV; I thought (and still do) it was nationwide. It has a 'chip' in it that holds all the information for international travel by land. The US border crossings have a machine that reads the information as we approach the entry. A passport is only required if you enter a country by air (referring to Canada/US/Mexico and from). Prior to that, we were allowed to travel between Canada/US/Mexico with a current drivers' license and a birth certificate. NAFTA made all products (except food) duty free between the three countries, as long as they were produced in one of the three.

If it is any help at all, there is a fellow in Freeport, MA (about 9 hours North of you) that deals in lots of 'different' cars. I am aware of somebody who has purchased from him and it was for top dollar! Goldenrod Garage Goldenrod Garage old cars and trucks sold and talked about (207) 865-6269 are his contact numbers. I can't make any statement or judgement regarding this fellow, or his business practices, as I live on the opposite coast and have only spoken with him once. Possibly he would buy some/all, take some on consignment, or work something else out with you. Wishing you the best!

The Bellingham Bakery was/is in an area which 'fringed' both commercial and residential The only 'trailer' truck photo I have for Bellingham is

And the 'Ugly Truck' winner for 1957

Here's some Chevrolet trucks that are extinct, at least as far as I can tell. I've been looking for one for years.

Internationals became of our more common delivery trucks

We did have both Butter-Krust and Bamby Bread for a short while when we bought the Bellingham Bakery. Didn't last very long...

You got my attention... However, looks like Bu....tter-Krust to me. Looks like the correct truck ('34 to '36 1.5 ton Chevy Panel Truck) Thanks.
