It looks like Stretch was the 1st to get this one, this is a 1938 Moreland D-RX-B diesel powered moving van. I don't know for sure who the body builder was, although Crown did build some bus bodies on Moreland chassis. In any event, this was a very attractive and modern looking truck for the time. Several of these Lyons Moreland vans appear in a Life Magazine photo, along with several other makes. Thanks to Don MacKenzie for the photo.
