Lately I have been on a quest to fill the roadways in front of the refinery with related Shell vehicles. Last week, I stumbled on a beautiful Shell die cast pickup truck with a tank in the truck's bed. It is very heavy and has lots of details. And the best part, it sold for the huge sum of $ 6.00. This piece arrived today and I am more than delighted with it. Even the underside is chromed. This will make a very nice addition to our roadway system and the refinery.

Nice addition to the layout & great price. 
Nice score, Bryan. Fits in perfectly at the refinery!

PTC, where did you find this truck? And did they offer other gas brands as well?
Very nice and you sure can't beat the cost!!
Great find, Brian! I looked at DuPage and didn't see any Shell vehicles, but will keep my eyes open.

Gene, I stumbled on it on the Bay in the wrong category. Blind luck that I found it. I did not see other oil companies listed. It is really a very cool truck. It fits in so well with our theme.
Nice Brian, where did you find that?
My answer crossed your post, John. Just look above for the answer.
Brian,
I remember these from my childhood. (70's)
Matchbox Super Kings.
What scale are these cars? (Info below is from a Matchbox info web page)
Matchbox has also manufactured cars in approx. 1:43 scale (sometimes called "king size"), labelling them Speed Kings or Super Kings (or, later — particularly in the Matchbox Collectables lines
Mike, you have excellent taste.
Thanks PTC... I love those types of finds!!!!
Thanks Gene, me too.
