Junkyard Find: 1974 AM General FJ-8A Ice Cream Truck

21 - 1974 AM General FJ-81 Ice Cream Truck Down On The Junkyard - Picture Courtesy of Murilee MartinWe see quite a few AM General DJ-5 mail Jeeps in this series, but what about all the big FJ-series mail trucks built by AMC with help from its Overland-Willys-Kaiser ancestry? For that, I had to venture to Southern California. Most of those 1970s FJ-8s seem to have become more or less sketchy ice cream trucks, and it's hard to find a creepier Junkyard Find than a dead ice cream truck.

Here's the "Boogie Man Ice Cream" truck, which I spotted on San Leandro Street in East Oakland a few years back. For the full effect, you'll need to download some authentic ice cream truck music files.
