1953 Herman Body step van

1953 Herman Body GMC VanGMC 216 inline 6Manual transmissionIncredible patinaThis would have been a custom ordered van. You will not see another one like it anywhere.I planned to build this into a cool ride but life is taking me other places. The motor will run. I replaced the points with a 12v electronic ignition. I believe the transmission to be functional. I haven't gotten to the point of road testing the trans, but it does engage, disengage and pull in all gears. All of the window seals are good. All of the glass is flat, so easy replacement. Super solid other than the interior steps that are in the pictures. Those can be replaced in a half a day at any decent welding shop. There is a wrinkle in the front driver side fender that was "straightened" many decades ago. This would make a cool food truck or hot rod.
