US Truck Body – 1945- 1993 – Long Island City, NY - US
Truck Body originated in New York in 1945, run by the Harmon brothers, Al
and Bernie, in a 50,000-sq-ft facility in Long Island City. It expanded to
the Midwest market in 1986 when Walker's father, Patrick, negotiated a joint
venture to form US Truck Body/Midwest. Seven years later, the New York
facility, mired in financial problems, went out of business. Patrick bought
out the Harmons' interest, assuming control of the entire US Truck Body
product line and name.
