Truck....Ok I purchased this during my raid on the local antique shop. Paid $30 AUD, I’ve had a look on the bay sales site and the same truck with different themes is available. One is a tow truck version with original box for $35 plus $7.45 postage and the rest are more expensive. No buyers remorse now, I was taken by the under chassis details and had to get it home. It’s in mint condition but has no box. There is a noticeable lack of plastic used on the model and it feels very well made. The tyres are rubber and have good tread detail, it rolls very well. All tampos are extremely crisp and legible. The interior is very good for the scale,1:43, and even has tiny chromed door lever and window winder! The interior photo I have included is the best I could get at such close range and it almost shows the texture on the seat which is very nicely done.
Check out the view that many an unfortunate squirrel would have seen just before heading to the great nut pile in the sky. The leaf springs are awesomely spectacularly done.*

The Buck boards are die cast and have been painted very nicely.
This is the dodgy interior shot, it’s tiny so had to trick the iPhone camera a little.
I just like this under side view.
This. This is what sold me. It’s all die cast and beautifully done, the exhaust system is die cast!
Ok. Ok I acknowledge that I have a problem with dismantling stuff. It’s back together now but I had to separate the chassis to show the detail better. Check it out!
All done, hope you like it as much as I do. Thanks for looking at it, links for current listings of similar casts.
