I love websites like Old Cars Weekly (which I didn't know existed before your post) that delve into their subject with some details; Hemmings is another one that has well written articles.

The truck's rounded corners at the roof would help keep it stabilized in side winds, a factor that a 10 to 11 foot wheelbase truck with a high profile and a relatively narrow width needs. Most milk trucks in the '40s and '50s looked like this --

In case you are interested (or even if you're not) that yellow and green truck is a 1948 Divco Model UMB.

Am interested!
How beautiful and functional is that!

Love me some Divcos!

My granddad had a old milk truck like that in his yard while I was growing full of "good junk"
just like my VW busses full of "gold"

Too lazy to try and hide the photo origin. Just take a look and enjoy.
