Letter Your trucks!
The first thing my son did when he bought a new truck was put
the name of his business on the side – Native Root Designs – in big
bright letters. Most companies do, and modelers should do the
same. There are some decals out there for trucks, but I really want-
ed to copy a couple of old photos with trucks in them, one with sev-
eral lined up outside Davies Warehouse, a business I modeled, plus
a panel truck that was owned by my grandfather Spangler’s sheet
metal business. I have a photo of the bright red Ford panel truck
with my grandfather and uncle posing next to it. They were help-
ing my dad build our house. The HO 1951 Ford panel truck by Alloy
Forms was found on eBay. The Davies Truck is a real cheap model I
found somewhere that is supposed to be a Ford.
