This very interesting vintage truck tractor model from Bill Flottmann is an Ertl truck that he "dressed up a little." A friend gave him the truck in pieces because he no longer wanted it. Bill put Alloy Forms Autocar headlights, an Athearn stack, Herpa wheels, A-Line sleeper box and windshield wipers, and a new paint job on it. His friend reclaimed the model after he saw what Bill had done to it! As Bill tells us, "Oh well, I had fun doing it."
