I might be a little twisted, but if I won a lottery or had a large place to store them I'd have to pick these up.  Something about old medium duty trucks just seem super cool to me... What would I do with them?  Restore one, turn the other into a ramp truck/flatdeck hauler?  Large street rod?  Lawn art?  Drive as-is?  I dunno... I just like them.

I like them also.

Then there's this... it's a darn good thing I don't have tons of cash sitting around with nothing to do with it...

 Like the GMC (left) in the picture above.

Technically, that's a short bumper-to-back-of-cab conventional.  The engine is mostly ahead of the cowl, with a "hump" in the firewall for the back couple of cylinders.  THIS is a COE.  Drove several of them for Neilson's (now Nestle) back in the early '70s.  

Still, a neat old truck, and would be great done up with an LS or an 8.3L Cummins, and a beavertail hauler body.
