I had a diecast First Gear COE laying around for parts so I built a cargo box for it and gave it a fresh paint job. While it is a little newer than the original, it will eventually be lettered like the trucks used by our Family when they ran a Furniture store from the 1930's until the mid 50's. My Mom and Dad actually met while working for Uncle Frank at the store. Mom was a secretary and Dad did a lot of jobs including driving the trucks.
{ raymay } Great job on the GMC ,and a Cool story too. Here is A 59 Chevy delivery. I like anything that's Roth or Rat Fink.
Here's an oddball collection of small (mostly 1:64 diecast, some HAMB friendly) just gathering dust on a shelf above my desk.
Where is a good place to get petroliana decals? This little GMC tow truck is begging for some oil and gas logos on the bed.
Try Thomas Toys in Fenton Michigan (810)629-8707. He got me the correct decals and a few other pieces I needed for my 56 Mound Metalcraft Firetruck.
Excellent posts...LOVED the furniture story and COE! Car Doc has brought that highboy right out of the pic in THREE-D!
