It is a Dodge P200 Step Van from the late 1960s. |

Il a existé un modéle Studebaker mail truck avec ce genre de pare brise. |

I was just about to say; There's an old mail van IDENTICAL to this one in a junkyard just down the road from my house. It's just rusting away there since 1979 (according to the registration). Same grille, same windshield, everything. I looked over it one time, and there's a plate in the interior that says "Manufactured by Studebaker." |

How can it be a Studebaker zip van doesn't it say Dodge beside the door? |
◊ 2011-09-16 15:46 |
It could be just some molding... I'd like to have info and pictures of that mythical Dodge P200 from somewhere else than here. |

There was a Dodge p 200 on E bay recently. |

For antp, here is proof that Dodge P-200s do exist and that this is one http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/801/1963dodgep200.jpg/ by the way here is a newer Dodge P-200 Link to "media.photobucket.com" however I also found this (clearly with a Chevrolet logo on the front) /vehicle_41401-Chevrolet-Step-Van-P-30.html witch also looks similar. -- Last edit: 2011-11-05 22:10:13 |

1st link: it is the pic posted there: /vehicle.php?id=300628 according to comment it would be right, sure, but that is still weak as info (and we found so many wrong ebay auctions) 2nd link: it looks completely different 3rd link: it is chevrolet, ok, does that prove that others are dodge? ![]() -- Last edit: 2011-11-05 23:36:55 |

I know the secant link does not match, that was just proof that Dodge P 200s do exist. |

By the way both this one /vehicle_18536-Studebaker-Zip-Van.html and this one /vehicle_158152-Studebaker-Zip-Van.html are Chevys or Dodges, but this one /vehicle_16630-Studebaker-Zip-Van-1964.html this one /vehicle_33220-Dodge-P-200-1969.html and maybe this one /vehicle_112513-Studebaker-Zip-Van-1963.html are Studebaker Zip vans. -- Last edit: 2011-11-09 23:52:20 |

[quote=antp]1st link: it is the pic posted there: /vehicle.php?id=300628 according to comment it would be right, sure, but that is still weak as info (and we found so many wrong ebay auctions) quote] I added the other pictures from that auction. I saved it in June, so it was probably listed in March (I save links each week, but I usually don't review them until they are about to expire). I usually don't look at the trucks, but this one looked different, and matched a van I submitted for Moonlighting. |

It does not proof anything, it is just a photobucked pic uploaded by someone under that name. A proof would be the scan of a brochure or an ad. |

Here's what e-bay has on brochures for Dodge Forward Control Vans. The 1964 and 1970 brochures show many different configurations, though none have this reverse Z-windshield. Some have matching grills and trim pieces to some of the vans that were listed as Studebakers. Link to "www.ebay.com" |

Its really confusing how one on E-bay was referred to as a 1963 Dodge P-200, while a nearly identical one was referred clearly had a Chevrolet logo on it, I am beginning to think that a certain manufacturer of step van bodys makes identical one for both Chevrolet and Dodge chassis, the only question remains is what the name of the body manufacturer is? |

In fact this van was produced by Swift Body Company from Sandusky, Michigan. Could have chassis from GMC, Chevrolet or Ford. Link to "www.ebay.com" Then - Swift Step Van. ![]() ![]() -- Last edit: 2013-03-16 08:15:27 |

I found this catalog relating to Zip-Van's of the United States Post Office Department as 'Model 8E5-FC Zip-Van'. Link to "www.faxonautoliterature.com" |

Yes, but sold as Studebaker - /vehicles.php?make=Studebaker&model=Zip+Van&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on |

I know this is really old but the answer to the question is Gerstenslager. I used to have a 1963 Dodge step van with Gerstenslager body. It was a retired postal van. I bought it in 1973 in San Francisco from a couple of hippies that came to the city from Michigan. We made it into a camper to drive around the country. I sold it in Seattle in 1981. The only picture I have of it ![]() I made window screen to put over the bottom front windows to keep the bugs out at night. Even though this is a picture of the back of a 1959 it is exactly as I remember my 1963. Link to "www.ebay.com" -- Last edit: 2017-12-18 01:14:34 |
