I still have it. That circumstance happens because I have a large barn and have expanded it over the years. I even have the ice cream body and the KB-5 IH truck that I hauled the '32 PU home on. Occasionally, I sell something. A year after I built the '32, I bought a '23 Graham Bros fire truck. It was actually a dressed up 1 ton PU with ladder racks, extra lights, and hose reels. I built an ice cream body for that too. Although it looked nice, I never did like selling ice cream from it. It was a walk-in style body. It's been gone fifteen years. I started on a ice cream side car for my '40 Knucklehead Harley many years ago. I still have the fiberglass molds and one complete shell. Whereas the other two trucks were equipped with refrigeration systems, the side car would have to run on dry ice. I get nervous thinking about several hundred dollars worth of product sloshing around in a tangle of wrappers. I have a good head start on the tractor ice cream truck. My 400 has a side mount Electrall. I also have an ex-military SS water buffalo. Board of Health requires the vendor to have water when dealing with scooped ice cream. And scooped it would be. The ice cream would be made on site and the customer would self serve after leaving a "donation" in a box. Jim's idea of running four tubs might just be the beginning. Ya, I am dreaming a bit here but I do think there might be a way to do this. I need to do alot more research.
