This casting brings back memories of when I started collecting JL cars in January of 1998. I bought the Truckin' America series first, and the Postal series a little later.

I still think this is a nice casting, especially if you do a wheel swap with rubber wheels.

Nice pic Wyatt! thumbsup.gif

The first one that I bought was from Truckin' America, too.
It was blue coloured with the big fat whitewall tires.
A very nice casting but I didn't like the whitewall tires on a TRUCK!
I never bought any of the Postal series castings.
The one below is my favourite of the castings that I have in my collection:

I'd like to see JL get alittle wild with this casting by popping the hood off of this truck, add a big beefy motor and then slap a Meatball number on the door! Great picture Wyatt. thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif

Their were a lot of good castings in the Truckin' America series.
Trucks make up a good part of my collection, and I love the old ones.
Great choice Wyatt thumbsup.gif

An early casting that has managed to stand the test of time. Not all of them have. Thanks Wyatt for a fun pic.

Gerry, I think I like the parts-truck variant best. I dig the Moon one as well, but then I'm biased regarding such things.

    Now I'm hooked!

Love the mooneyes, I don't get excited about the other ones. Never saw them in real. Thanks for the picture Wyatt....
