Truck Thursday, brown big rig edition

Illustration for article titled Truck Thursday, brown big rig edition

For Truck Thursday I present this Ford Louisville L9000 semi cab. Made By Top Shelf, this is a really nicely detailed replica with an opening hood. It was a bargain at $20 (ebay seller accepted my best offer).

The one oddity is the brown color, and clear residue from someone removing tampos from the doors. Every one I’ve seen for sale, in person and online, show the same residue. Given the color, I suspect these were originally UPS logoed (Top Shelf does a lot of custom branded trucks), but something changed. So the logos were removed at the factory and sold as plain trucks.
