A transcription from a large display ad in a 1954 issue of Fleet Owner follows: (...) Heretofore, bodies produced in the Universal line for parcel delivery have been designed for GMC, Ford and Chevrolet chassis only. The new models bear the trade name "Duravans," and will be available in both wide and narrow sizes, and on wheelbases ranging from 104 in. to 129 in."
