This is a very rare find and posibally the only one of this type in existance. It is original and built on a 1-1/2 ton gmc cab and chasis. It spent most of its life in the seattle zoo selling popcorn and ice cream (the freezer still works). It runs and drives as it should. The engine has been replaced with a 70's inline 292 that runs well. Two new tires on the front with original artillary wheels. The grill is chrome. This truck does need a cosmetic restoration. It would make a great club project to use for club events and fund raisers. I have pictures I can send. I am asking $2250. Thanks

JunkYardDogJunkYardDog's dawghouse also has a large extension cord going into Mrs. G's main house, some of us wonder if it may be to connect his air-popper or for his fridge full of fresh cow bones and a keg cooler....me thinks both, along with a Direct TV and a wide screen TV permanently tuned to the Playboy channel, or is it the Playdog BoW-Wow GRRRRR!

Well......kinda sorta, except that the truck that I'm looking for would say "Coors" instead of "Miller".
