Thanks for this topic! I wish there were more trucks from the 1960-1990 era available at modest prices. I like the New Ray Mack Bs. Their van trailers are close to 40' at 1/48. They sit too high, almost like gravel trailers, but this is not hard to fix.
Older Ertl items include a '50 GMC cabover and a '60 Chevy conventional, though their wheels are a little too low-profile. Again, changes to the wheels and axle height can help mask differences in size.
Tractors I'd like to see include:
- Mack R-series conventional
- Ford Louisville conventional
- International Transtar cabover
All of these were very common in the '70s and '80s, and many of the Macks are still around today, at least in the Northeast.
Again, thanks,
Alan
