I lived in Rural New England when this rig was new, very few made it beyond 5 or 6 year old before they completely rusted away ~ that yours is still so intact is amazing .
Question : the little black car in the back ground of posts # 53 and 67, is it an Austin A55 derivative ? . I love it .
You should post photos of exactly where the chassis VIN is to be found .

Thank you... but everything below the belt line on the van body is just rotten... A testament to how cheaply made the Union City Van bodies were made. Putting it back together again is going to take some time and a lot of fabrication.
To answer your question; The black car beside the trucks is a '55 or '56 Austin Cambridge.
In keeping with Legal Requirements, as a Licensed Journeyman and certified to do Vehicle Safety Inspections... Posting photographs of the exact location of hidden identifiers for motor vehicles is a criminal code offense in Canada - so I will have to respectfully decline.
