Thanks for the reply teamster Grrrl! Thought it was a Hostess truck,was from Youngstown Oh area,maybe one of the other big bakery companies,was definitely a bakery truck, He referred to it jokingly as a "Twinkie truck" was definitely a Road commander were they built in the 60's? The reason I said 70s was I thought they weren't built til the 70s.

There we're 2 different RCs. The first was just a new name for the boxy 7000 series cabover built in the early 70s. The second was the rounded cab that came out in the late 70s and was shared with the Road Boss conventional and Expeditor low tilt. After Volvo took over in the early 80s the "Road" names disappeared and they were just called Volvos.
