I found a PBR Truck that was equipped with taps on the side. Does anyone know if they have seen any others like this? It is a Divco, Model 206C, it had three taps on the side although they have been removed, the holes are still there. It is in amazing shape for being in the weather. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I found some information about the PBR Truck. It is a 1960's 206C Divco, and started life as a beer delivery vehicle, and was converted to a mobile dispensory in the early 70's where it went about selling Pabst at events like state fairs, concerts, etc. It was discontinued as a dipensory in the 80's after lawsuits started with other breweries that had the same concept (Bud, Miller, etc); when people would leave the event drunk, and get into accidents. It remained in delivery service until the early 90's when it was retired and sold to a junkyard as scrap. It was recently purchased by my father, who worked for Divco, and now restores these interesting trucks for others. He and I are restoring the truck back to its glory as a mobile beer dipensory, since many of these trucks were restored into milk trucks, and an example such as this is rare.
