It looks like the '57 stake truck you mentioned has Budd wheels, although they are six hole instead of five, like mine, and six lug in the front instead of five. It'll make a good parts truck though. The axles, frame, and wheels should work nicely, and it should, hopefully, have the four on the floor and a parking brake lever. Thanks for the tip, special-K. The Danbury mint one has a double bumper that could be cut in half to look just like the one I need. It's not worth buying the whole truck though. Maybe I can contact them and buy just that piece.
