Looking for info on Available Trucks

[agsem]

We were donated a 1931 Available Furniture Moving van today. Picture attached. So far we have learned from this website:
http://hankstruckpictures.com/
that Availables were built in Chicago from 1910 to 1953. Searching online for Available has generated little results, since the word is so generic.

If anyone has additional info we would appreciate it. The owners, a local moving company, removed their logo from the aluminum sides of the van. Forward of the van box, the sheet metal is steel. The roomy cab is completely lined with strips of highly varnished oak. The metal clutch and brake pedals have Available cast into their foot surfaces. The accelerator pedal is about the size of a silver dollar.
Thank you,
Greg Hayden

You might try over at the ATHS website (aths.org) for info... there's some really sharp guys on the rare stuff over there. Looks like quite a find, and in very good condition!!!

Thank you. I just checked ATHS but it is down right now. I book marked the site and will try tomorrow.

I attach a picture of the Available badge on the top front of the heavy duty cast aluminum radiator.

Thanx,
