Neat, looks to be in (relatively) good shape inside, body panels straight, etc. That's gonna be a cool project. Put an up-rated flathead in it. Be easier than a late model engine and maintain the authenticity, sound, feel.

Keep us posted on the progress.

Get it running and stopping and drive the wheels off it. What a cool daily that would be! dw

Congrats on a great find.

I know where there is a similar "route van", 1940 Ford V8 60, Tonner, former REA (Railway Express Agency) truck. It was altered into a Hippy Van, living unit during that era . Note the pop out on the curb side of the box and the wood stove vent in the roof.

Early photos of this 41 Ford Truck in the snow, cool, in more ways than one.
