I like the way they extended the rear fenders. Do you think they maybe one piece?

They sure look "seamless". ?? Who knows. Probably well within the capability of the maker of those commercial bodies to fabricate a special fender for them.

Isn’t it great to see the old building still there. Thanks Dan and others who take the time to search these things.

These pix had me run out to my shop to check a jar in my collection,
thinking it had the same name. Alas, the jar bears the name McGrew
Grocery Co.

Jar dates to pre-automobile days, but is new enough to wear numbers
for that new telephonic communication wizardry of the day.

It does have the same phone number. McGrew sold out to McLean?

Didn't McGrew sell out and join the Yukon gold rush? Got himself shot dead over some woman, or so it's said.

Just a couple of their other trucks before and after.
Looks like a Franklin:
