Foxer Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 I'm not exactly knowledgeable so I'm coming to the experts. This truck was driven by a friends father (around AZ) and I want to build her one for her N Scale Railroad. I don't expect to learn where I might find one but I won't refuse anyhelp.
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) I believe it's a pre-war White. This is a '41... http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/09/1941-white-semi-tractor-trailer-that.html Edited February 12, 2016 by Ace-Garageguy
Jim B Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 It's definitely a White, but as to the year; I don't know. This is a 1955 White that was owned by P&C Foods:
redneckrigger Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Looks like a White for sure. Nice old timer!
Old Buckaroo Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 I would love to have one of those, I would drive it to town and back to shop.
Jim B Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 White Mustang.I thought the White Mustang was White's gasoline engine, not the truck.
plastic trucker Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 The Mustang is a White truck with the gas engine in it.
lapazleo Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 a company called classic metal works has them in "n" scale very nice and reasonable pricing. any model rr shop should be able to get them.
scummy Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Yes a white mustang , my father was nearly killed in one of these . He rolled it and crushed the cab around him he got petrol burns from the petrol leaking on him , they were going to cut of his leg off to get him out but they used a new machine just invented the cut away the cab to release him .

Superpeterbilt Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 I thought the White Mustang was White's gasoline engine, not the truck.This is correct.

Foxer Posted February 23, 2016 Author Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) I took Lapazeo's advice and looked up Classic Metal Works. They were not producing the White currently so I went to ebay. There were two old White's, a single and a double axel cab, so the single is mine now! This is pretty amazing detail for mass produced N scale ... 1/160! A quick look what I got .. Thanks for all the guidance narrowing it down to this! I;ll put a link here to the build when it goes live. build Edited February 23, 2016 by Foxer
