It looks really old but it has hookups for electricity in the small panel on the driver's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered where that name came from and never did research it. Do you know if they made other style vehicles?

Thanks for all the replies. Pet and Mayfield Dairies were (are?) located in the South so I guess the Divco trucks were used around here. I don't think they were as popular as they were in Detroit because I don't remember seeing any of them. They are an interesting looking little truck.

Do you know if they made other style vehicles? They always built some type of delivery vehicle starting in 1926 to 1986. Here are a couple of links on information on the company. http://divco.org/history/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Hundreds of Divco vans up here north of the 49th in the 40's, 50's and 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I used to get a ride with the milk man once in awhile when I was a kid. The truck had stand up controls. Fairly popular street rod fodder these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
