Take a look at those fenders. Aren't they awesome? (DIVCO Purists, take a pill, it will be ok after a while) John took Iveco 6 lug 17.5 tubeless wheels, welded the lug holes and drilled the 5 lug pattern for the DIVCO. Great truck, thanks for the photos.
George Parmelee's 1956 DIVCO model 15 Connecticut
George's current project, a 1947 Model UM stand up drive only
This was a frame off restoration and kept original even down to the fan belt that is lettered "DIVCO".
The truck now resides in a new CT truck museum, Golden Age of Trucking, Middlebury, CT.
George replaced the bottom of the front quarter panels, had a new shelf made for the cream case or butter box. Made a new back floor and case racks. George hopes to install the new floor along with the side panels this winter. He plans to keep this truck original also. Thanks George.
LeRoy West's 1955 DIVCO model 374 Lyons Michigan
Here it is "before". Look at that grille & door!
And the "after" picture, Beautiful!
While at a local parade. Looks like a real Milkman. Oh! it is!
Ken also had a 1/32 scale Ertle produced honoring the former dairy.
Ken bought the truck in 1999 and completed the restoration in the spring of 2004. This 100B has a 4 cylinder Golden Missle engine, it is a sit drive and was painted to duplicate the DIVCO ken drove when he started working for Grimm's in 1971. Thanks for sharing your DIVCO.
Well now, John's eradicated the rust and it's in primer. Really looking good. It's all original running gear 300 Ford 6 cyl., brakes, etc.
This DIVCO was used as a beer truck years ago. The holes in the side are for beer taps. Kegs were in the refrigerated section along with CO2 bottles. People could walk up and tap a beer. The hand drawing on the side is a mural of Ham's Beer Bear. Greg plans to use the truck as a delivery truck for his wedding cake business after it is restored.
And here's Lizzy checking things out.

Still on the trailer, "I found a new home!"
It sure looks like LeRoy has his work cut out for himself. Although these pictures show he's got a good start. Thanks, LeRoy for sharing your DIVCO.

Jimmie de's DIVCO Paso Robles, California
This is a most unique DIVCO. Look @ the fiberglass body.
Notice Jimmy replaced the standard front suspension & steering. This truck also had a sliding door which he replaced with the bi-fold doors. Beautiful truck.
