DRIPTROIT 71 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 I found these today for $5.00. I think fuel stickers are a big part of building a model of a vintage truck of the 70's. I hope to be able to make some 1/25 decals using these. Most of the options in scale seem a little big for 1/25 to me. I can get measurements from these. These are from 77 and 78.
angelo7 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 I love vintage stuff! And speaking of tax stickers, did they put them anywhere on the truck or did they have to be at specific locations?

I'm not sure of the specifics, but most were on the drivers side of the truck, some were on both sides, and New York was on the front. I'm not sure if any were on the passenger side only.
highway Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) I'm not sure of the older ones, but the newer IFTA stickers are probably about 2" by 2", and some of the old stickers look similar in size. As you can see, placement is also optional but today's are on both sides, and technically if I remember correctly (you'll have to wait for Dec if you want me to be 100% sure ) but I think the backing on the sticker states the sticker SHOULD be placed on the bottom front of the door windows, but I don't think I have ever seen one in that "correct" location. Also, the new NY HUT (Highway Use Tax) sticker goes on the driver's side of the hood. That is the sticker in front of the hood mirror near the left edge of this pic: The older NY HUT stickers (older meaning since I started driving in 1998) were on the driver's side front bumper, and also until maybe the yearly 2000s, trucks operating in Oregon regardless of the state they were registered in had to have an Oregon plate. Even though this isn't the one I drove way back when, this Werner Classic had been to Oregon, the Nebraska plate is the white one on the bumper and the Oregon is the red one under it. Hope this helps a little Brian, and just in case anyone is wondering why the pics of my Schneider ride look a little strange, I was experimenting with the picture mode of my dash cam, and the cam has a 140 degree field of vision.
