According to Randy, "Specialized bodies for trucks proved strong sellers in the early days of the automobile". This vintage sump pump model was built in October of 2004 from scratch based on an illustration found in the book, "Trucks and Vans" by Bishop/Marshall. The model was constructed with styrene and brass, painted with Humbrol enamels,and heavily weathered with dry pigments. The wheels on the model were made from scratch also. These were built up with plastic tubing for the rims and tires and .020 styrene sheet cut using a template to represent early spoked wheels. A driver figure was added by Preiser. Over 20 hours were spent constructing this unique vintage vehicle.
