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. :D
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.

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.
