That Sylvan model REA truck may be the only O scale model they've done, and it is too new for me.  I saw them in a show, and tried to talk them into doing more, as their HO line is fabulous, full of 1930's GM and other vehicles, but l don't think they think the market is there.

Colorado Hirailer, your post reminded me of one you made here back in 2016 that got my attention.  Sylvan has an O scale Divco and a member posted photos of the completed model.  It's the early boxy version, not the iconic rounded shape introduced in 1936 or so.  It should turn up in a post search.

I agree very nice I like 30s cars the most 

SpecCast White WC 22 Dump Truck.  Custom decals, added beat up front bumper and weathered.  I should have blended in the door hinge with paiint and used Lee's HO Scale horn technique!

The sand is from The Beach.  It is now a public recreation area. Note the phone number on the door

Excellent weathering job, John.   Looks really good'... Nice fading'... Just right'..

The Mar/App issue of Narrow Gauge and Shortline Gazette has an article on bashing vehicles for your layout, describing what we are already doing. It is entitled "Quick Make Overs", by John LaBarba.

John what a great tribute to D Day. Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was something about my GMC truck that drove me nuts. It had round protrusions along the side of the bed, where some Airfield matting was attached. That didn't happen in real life, and those protrusions didn't exist on a real truck. So, I pulled out the Dremel tool and ground them down, and painted them over. Then, I added what I think is a pretty good-looking load.

Look at the bed side, this is what it used to look like...

This is how it came out of the box:

Lee. Very nice rework I like the looks of that truck now totally transformation

 Jackie.  I seen one like this in Kentucky one time in a junkyard but it didn’t have the dual wheels on the front that is one weird trailer whatever

Lee, that is a great looking load -- especially the welding equipment and the coiled metal in the foreground.  It really sets the space off nicely -- as does the open area in the rear truck bed.

This reminds me of this 1950 International Harvester Fageol Van: click for Copyright Photo. It's the same year and there's definitely a general Fageol family resemblance .  Now, which one of you is going to take up the modeling challenge? :-)
