Glad you appreciate it. I hear guys these day calling that body ugly. I say it defines strong and handsome. And I'm sure they don't realize what a giant step forward they were. GM had done the Taskmaster design ahead of Ford and needed to continue those while they worked on their step into the '60s. I love the Taskmaster body. Possibly my favorite GM. But Ford really made a huge leap forward

Great truck and even great old truck in use photo. I don't see lift bodies used these days. Do they even use then at airports anymore?
