On the truck forum that I visit, someone posted an ad for a bread truck for sale in Idaho. Check out the name of the company on the side. Dennis

Makes you wonder how a truck from Olean survived and made it to Idaho.

Maybe it got used as a moving van once it was sold from the company? Hard to say :)

Yep, many people bought those big rigs years ago just to move with. Rental stuff likely didnt exist. i know theres a truck my Dad sold that was going to Alaska almost 50 years ago, following a farm tractor slowly hauling more... imagine that drive! lol 100 miles a day more/less. Maybe 200 if they were long days.
