Gary Roberts Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Those are pretty rare and really interesting. There is a brewery in my area that has converted one into a multi tap beer truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Has anyone on the board ever been in one? I have always wondered how strong the fumes were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgeb4ya Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) There's a 1 ton (DU) and 1-1/2 ton (EU) model... I think both pretty beefy vans. At least one person here has one ...I think a EU model Edited March 3, 2019 by Dodgeb4ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9 foot box Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 In 1959, I was in the sixth grade, my friends father had a dairy delivery route. Once in a while we got a ride in his van, to get to school. He was alright to let me stand at the passenger side, as long as I held on. His kid, Paul, was behind him. Good memories. I've thought a few times of contacting a few old dairy's that were around here, and see if any vans are still around. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48Dodger Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 I agree Dodgeb4ya...there's someone who was building one and was planning on showing up to the Clements BBQ. I'll have to go back to and old BBQ thread and see what happened....maybe he had to sell the truck? Built is so well he hit the road and never turned back? Lost it on a bet? We may never know..... 48D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozerman51 Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 The DU Route Van third member unit is identical to the PH 8.75” 1 ton third member. They came with 4.89, 4.30 and 3.91 ratios. The EU Route Van third member is the same as the 9&5/8” third member found in the WDX and later model PW’s up to the WM-300. The military M-37 also used this third member. Ratios for the EU Route Van were 4.89 and 5.83. People claim that the EU third member could be ordered with a 4.30 ratio, but I have looked at the parts book and have never seen the 4.30 listed. Perhaps it could have been a special order type deal, but I doubt it. Vintage Power Wagons has had some 4.30 ratio sets made up for the 9&5/8” third member.
