What kind of truck is it?
It's pretty rare and not that many people have seen them before...it's a 1949 or 50 International Harvester Metro Panel van.

Believe it or not, my grandfather used to deliver parts all over New Mexico with it and my dad spend tons of time in there as a kid riding around with him. It was a big part of my family's history, and the person my grandmother gave it to after my grandfather passed away heard that I was asking about it and offerred me the truck.

I just really want to do something neat with it and I've wanted to have it since I saw it when I was like 6 years old.

Who knows.. I'm doing lots of research now so that when it gets brought out from New Mexico in the next couple of months, I'll know where to take it and be confident in who ever is doing the work.

thanks for everyone's help... keep the suggestions coming.

Thanks!
