This is Fritz's 1947 UM7 Stand Drive DIVCO |
Here it is being delivered to me from Colorado. It belonged to Sinton's Dairy in Colorado Springs. |
I have rebuilt the drive train and have everything working. Just waiting for paint. |
This is a picture of my grandfather's truck. This is how I plan to paint mine. |
It may look rough, but it's a plesaure to drive around in. |
Update: The rear in the truck is a 6:60 which equates to a top speed of 33 miles per hour (wow). Fritz acquired a 5:10 and installed it, now he can go at a blazing 45 mph! |
