      Hostess White Road Commander? If it came out of the Continental Baking side of the company, it'd be rare. They bought some White 5000s in the early 60s with NH220s and some were repowered with 2 stroke Detroits. Continental had some White Compacts too, but I think the last Whites they bought were in the 60s. Could have come from the Interstate Brands side of the company- They had a few White/Volvo cabovers from the 80s and 90s. Interstate was a lot more diverse a fleet, they let each bakery buy their own trucks and thus had a lot of oddballs. Continental did central purchasing for all their bakeries, so they bought a lot of identical Frieghtliner, Ford, International, and Kenworths in orders of up to 200 units. Continental and Interstate  merged in the 90s and ended up with the "Hostess" monicker.
