Name this truck?

[D Cluley]

I went to the "Back to the Bricks" show in Flint back in August and am just getting around to dealing with the way too many pictures I took.

Does anybody know who made this stepvan? I can almost read the logo on the nose, but not quite.

Divco?.

Looks like it says Potertown maybe?

Looks like "BOYERTOWN", and "mirchen --- er(?)" then something else in smaller letters above that.

This it? Boyertown Auto Works?

Looks like something from Father Flannigan's metalshop class to me.

And here's another one from the Reading Eagle.

Boyertown was a big producer of commercial delivery vehicle bodies. My grandfather worked for a local (Pittsburgh PA) truck body builder, Doerr Brothers. I made a living for quite a few years driving a step van, or bread trucks as we all called them.

Thanks guys.

It looked like boys town to me too, but that seemed unlikely.

Guess it's not a Divco,

But I wish I owned it this one is listed at 32k

Cool truck!

 

[78Brougham]

I did a quick search on Google... I can't believe what these are going for!
How are you doing, Bob. Btw?

There's a story on BoyerTown body works in the current edition of Vintage Truck magazine

I have the grill to one like that. I always thought I'd put it in a man cave of some sort. Pretty cool old trucks.

Growing up on the East side of Detroit, the Divco appeared as the Twin Pines milk truck. The Boyertown cruised the streets in the summer as the Mr. Softee ice cream truck.
