umodelnut Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 ive seen that video and have been looking for it. i never would have thought it was you that took it. do you live close to that place or something? like i said if i knew the places exact address i would send them a letter asking about the truck. i would be wondering the year of the truck and the serial number to see if the serial number was close to my u model.

I have a ton of them Vinny! I will do my best! You might get them a couple at a time.During the 70's.I think every issue that showed deliveries,had at least 1 or 1 fleet taking delivery of them. Quite a big seller when overall length mattered.I remember Adolph Plating in Chicago had a bunch of U's,R's,and MB's in their day.Last I known they were called just API,Inc. and leased trucks from Ryder.My uncle drove for them in '73-'74.Sorry, no pictures of their stuff.Now yours was green and was owned by Flexi Van Rentals working for Kimberly-Clark,correct.Did you find out a delivery date on that,from the museum or anything? Just trying to narrow it down to the time in '75 that it was delivered.I'll start looking for anything that might resemble yours,OK?

57 bcr Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Charley Brothers was running MH daycabs before Supervalu took them over. 10-4 on that,Jim.Boy SuperValu has sure come along way since I was a kid. They had a huge warehouse in Green Bay,Wis. when I was a kid.Mostly had IH 2000's ,Ford Louisvilles fleet trucks like that.I think they now own more grocery chains than anyone.
