This is a long shot but here goes

I know this is a car forum, but you guys know everything.

I've been asked to help curate a special exhibit at the Gilmore Museum in Michigan.
I am currently helping the Gilmore Museum put together an exhibit of iconic American pickup trucks. We are looking for these specific trucks in restored condition:

47-48 Divco
1950s Jeep pickup
30s-40s Diamond T pickup
55-58 Chevy Cameo
57-59 Ford Ranchero
61-64 Corvair pickup
65-67 Dodge D100
60-66 Chevy C-10
79 Dodge Lil' Red Express

The trucks will be placed on display at the Glimore Museum in Hickory Corners Michigan. The exhibit would got up May 1, 2017 and run for 9-12 months. If anyone has or knows of any of these trucks that could be available, please PM me .
Thank you!

My One Degree of Separation on this is John and Peggy on Stovebolt, but I bet you've already pulled that string.

International is missing as well. I know you didn't ask.

No Ford other than a Ranchero ? Go for a 72 F250 Camper Special......cool truck with extended wheelbase !

Those are only the trucks we don't have lined up yet. There are 26 trucks on the list, we have secured most of them. I can post the complete list, but emotions run high over pickup trucks. The mods may have to move this to PARF.
Yes, Seahawk, I've been in contact with the Millimans. They were first on the list.

There is a guy I know who has at least half of these trucks and all are restored to original condition. I will pm you.

Darn it.... I googled Corvair Pickup and now I want one!

Hey I'm on the board of directors for the Corvair Society of America. Let me know if you need help finding a Rampside for your exhibit... I can make some calls.

I know of this '56 Cameo in SoCal.
I detailed and touched up for the owner last year.

He showed the truck in an "all original Chevy" show. He's the 2nd or 3rd owner. It's a home done restoration to pretty original type standards. (Repaint to original, interior fabrics restored to original, grille disassembled and repainted and chromed like original {many skip this step}. Likely realistically about a 7 to 8ish out of 10. Very presentable, but not perfect.

I can check with him and see if he has any interest in shipping it back East.

Very cool list of trucks. I'd love to see the rest of the list. I think the old 50s Ranchero and El Caminos are very cool. It sounds like a fun exhibit.

I don't know where any of these are so no PM.

However I think that I've seen a few of these participate at the Orphan Auto Show in Ypsilanti MI. Maybe the organizers have a list of participants which you could contact them about.

Not sure why the Corvair's are always there, might be a loophole for the model name.

About | Ypsilanti

YAHM’s featured automotive stories are Chevrolet Corvair, Tucker, Hudson, Kaiser-Frazer, and General Motors Hydra-matic; all with Ypsilanti connections. Displays include Motor State which held patents on power convertible tops, the Ford Motor Company Generator Plant, and local car dealerships. As a thriving commercial and manufacturing hub, Ypsilanti had a significant influence on these pioneering companies and the men who built them. The Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum preserves an important era in American history. The museum also hosts the National Hudson Motor Car Company Museum.

I like the Studebaker pick up trucks myself.

I've also seen many others on your list at the Rolling Sculpture Auto Show in Ann Arbor MI, they have a list - I used to get the event reminder cards.
