That certainly is a handsome truck, Bob! Your great photographs show it at it's very best!! We all have known the little Morton salt girl since our youngest days! That's a fine truck even for folks who do not buy the Morton salt plant.
VERY NICE TRUCK! Wish they also made it in 1:24!
Great, something to spend more money on! One day when I finish my build! LOL
Dad says buy it now Mike, before they are all sold out!!!

just remember, two for one this week !!
Love the idea of associating this new truck with recent building releases. Now, extend the idea to the Red Owl store, ... pretty please.

Good looking truck, nice addition to the Morton building.

I haven't pulled the trigger on none of these trucks because they're too new. I wish Menards would do something with like a 1930s or 1950s Mack truck or something similar. Even the buildings, while beautiful are just too new for my taste. But please mark keep up the great work you've done wonders for this Hobby.....

Mark, I know I should! Dad is a very wise man! But I now live with the wife, and when she says no extra spending till the building is done! Well you know where I am going with this! LOL
E-UNIT-79, I agree about the vehicles and some of the buildings, way too modern for my use, but certainly well done.
Mike, I completely understand!! I am in a similar predicament, although I don't need my wife to tell me to watch the spending. I do that for myself, and she does as much as she can here at home with her health issues.
Really nice truck! Does go very well with the building. But when do you stop? Been getting stuff for 5 years for the layout I will start this Fall! Looking yesterday at everything I have accumulated including most of the Menards buildings and figure I need a layout of 150 ft by 50 ft! Now how to cram it into the available 10 by 20! LOL

Hey it's easy! Just do what Dad does and make more table room! If you need to move a wall or 2, maybe 3 I am sure dad will come over and help you! He is a carpenter you know! LOL

I second that motion = YES - YES - a Red Owl truck....................
I wish someone would fill in the missing gap of the 60's & 70's trucks. So far Athearn O 1:50 is all that was made correctly. Models are either too old or too modern, nothing ever offered that's in between.
Great looking truck!! Hope they think about making it in a circa 1940's vehicle as well.

Agreed! It seems the only thing we can find are muscle cars. It's a real bummer!
