Constructed in the mid 1970s, Randy tells us that this model of a 1919 Atterbury is one of his earliest vintage truck models. The cab and chassis were made from styrene and the cargo box was made from scale lumber and strips of 1/64th" plywood stained with thinned down model paints. The wheels were made up using the centers from Grandt Line 43" cable sheaves with nut castings added to the hubs and file-shaped 7/16" plastic tubing added for the tires. The lanterns were made up by filing short pieces of square strip styrene and adding MV lenses for the reflectors. The driver figure by Preiser was added much later.
