a baby IH 4x4

this kinda goes along with my Columbus build. .I found a 1959 IH toy truck...made by the true scale company....I'm gonna take it apart and paint it to match Columbus. ..its as close as I could come to finding a 57 IH...the 59 has the different grill and 4 headlights...a 57-58 has single headlights..

Re: a baby IH 4x4
Tru-Scales are way cool. Not cheap either. You found a pretty decent one. They are in there with the early Ertl replicas. A smaller scale than the other pressed steel trucks with authentic details, more of a promo than a toy. Did you check to see if they made your tear replica?
Ok, I just checked and it looks like they held off changing from the A-series till '59. Looks like they made one version of each body style in the years they were in production. https://www.google.com/search?q=57+t...w=1366&bih=631 |

sorry S-K..i missed your earlier reply...
I looked for a while and couldn't find a 57-58 for sale...and correct... the 'a' series was 57-58...then in 59 it changed to the 'b' series....I think I can mod this one to be good enough though....gotta take it apart and see what I can do....this is what I wish I could have found |
Re: a baby IH 4x4
of course...and now when I look on ebay I found several 'a' series........
