Recently came across these pics on a Jack Benny Facebook group. Apparently, Texaco put these on their tank trucks in the 1960s:
So, what I wanna do is shrink these to O scale size and put 'em on a Texaco tank car. Haven't had much luck locating one at the local shows or eBay, so if anyone knows a good source, please let me know! Thanks!

Not sure where you're looking, but there are quite a few Lionel and MTH Texaco tank cars listed on Ebay.
Only if you have a high quality ink jet printer. Run test on paper first because there are only 3 sheets of clear decal paper. I use this procedures on model airplanes and model train flat structures.
Hope this helps: Gary

(looks) Not quite what I had in mind, mostly. Most of those are more modern designs; I'm looking for 1960s style graphics and layout.
But thanks! 
Are you looking for something like these cars? Traditional size - not scale.

Depends on the prototype, doesn't it? Tank cars come in an astonishing variety of sizes.
Ha! Loved the Jack Benny Radio program. Wouldn't take much to fill up a Maxwell!

Traditional, yes! That's the sort of thing I had in mind.

There are two of those Lionels listed on Ebay currently, and 3 similar MTH tank cars.
