I diddnt get any pictures inside it, but it seemed to be all there. This was in a whole line of cars I took pictures of, This was the most interesting as well as an old Chrysler Desoto.











Everything is for sale I was told minus the old Ice cream truck. if there is interest I'll post the rest of the pictures in another thread

You threw me a curve ball. I went through the pics and thought the little diesel was in the Apache, not the bread truck.

The Apache panel trucks were actually quite common in those days. They were almost always in commercial use so they got worn out and scrapped pretty early. There was a TV series called Rescue 8, ca. 1959. It was about hero's attached to the Fire Department that had a panel truck full of ropes and climbing gear and all sort so life saving equipment that went around being heroes every week. Maybe that's their panel truck.

1958, likely

Apache 3100 is a light duty truck, so most likely it is about as factory as the 427 I had in mine in the '70s...

The diesel is in the Apache, not the bread truck, the picture quoted shows the other cars for sale sans the ice cream truck. I have better pictures of the others
