I didn't find the truck you did, Nick, but I did find this Dodge Magnum pulling a trailer with an antique pickup truck on it. Shows 1:43 and they both look right for 1:48. Both the Magnum and pickup are on Warrenville's roads already, without the trailer.
A couple items need to be worked on before this set is layout worthy:
I removed the hitch from the Dodge (a single small screw was holding it on) because it was a stupid scale foot and a half wide and long. The trailer is a scale 11 feet wide! I'm gonna section it and move the wheels inward to make it about 8 scale feet wide.
I'm happy with my purchase.

LIONELSKI I agree they might need some tweaking. My layout is all heavy industrial so the perfect shiny chrome is going to need a good covering of grit and "steel mill road spray" I think these were brought in for the Christmas season so you might have to have them check other stores for these.

Thanks Mark I hope you are doing great...I know you are! Nick
Thank you Nick! I sure missed getting together with you fellows Saturday! I thought of the get together several times that morning. I am getting along about as good as can be expected for less than 3 weeks out!!
