1940 white horse milk truck (like divco but air cooled like vw bus

[what is it?]

here i have for sale on ebay with no reserve is and incredibly rare 1940 white horse milk truck. its a stand up only delivery van that uses an air cooled flat four in a mid engined layout! not many were made and due to design flaws and WWII most were retired and junked by the 50's and now as far as i'm aware less than 10 exist today. it was used by a small company called Sanitary Dairy Products Company in Minnesota. its in need of a full restoration. it is on the rougher side with it having quite a bit of rust and bullet holes however most of the damaged metal is just flat sheet metal so it would be mostly easy metal repairs. comes with a rare spare engine as well which it itself would be a great display piece. to some extent it is the fore father to the vw type 2 bus! also comes with extra wheels. dont miss out on this rare relic as these never come up for sale! i have clear title in my name. more pictures in the link.

You have to love some of the really oddball vehicles that were manufactured.

A thought just came to me as I was looking at and reading about this truck:  why were milk trucks not made to be right hand drive ?

It seems like right hand drive (and right side entry & exit) would be more practical in the US.

similar to the Diamond T / Stutz Pak-ag-Kar

How about an electric motor in that thing? That would be really cool.

With left hand drive you have floor space to turn around and get your product from the  inside of the truck then exit the truck on the curb side. The workspace is needed between the driver controls and the curb.
