I have been looking for this since last week when I posted the P15 thread. This is even better...350 and dually! This one really rocks!

I would like to chop the top.

I thought I posted the link...but forgot...only $1200!

That body style came in both steel & aluminum. I would stay away from the steel bodies. They are very prone to rust & are heavy. There are a lot of aluminum body step vans on the market. Check with the snack food co,s & bread, laundry co,s. The aluminum bodies last practically forever especially ones made by Grumman .

Interesting observation wrenchbender...did the entire P series have steel and alumninum options? I like the bigger chassis since it has the duallys and C30 frame. Great swap meet rig!!! A runner for $1200..."throw away" price!

This one is a '68...my favorite year!

that looks like all the lunch wagons or "roach coaches" I used to see working at the car dealerships in socal.

Man, my dad had 2-3 grumman trucks back in the day, but I think they were all 80's versions. Those were pretty sweet.

i drove that same truck for a few years as a carpenter, loaded to the gills with tools. Man that thing was a tank, 12,000 gvw, dually with a disk brake on the driveshaft. had to get gas every other day and needless to say didnt pick up too many ladies drivin it....

the only way it would be cooler is if it had been repowered with a Cummins 4bt.

does it have a vac?

pretty neat

The 71 up had front disc brakes & a heavier chassis. 73 up had the latter model rear end with higher gears available. It used the same parts into the 90,s & is easier to find parts for.
