rsxse240 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Hey guys, I need to know what trucks Love's Truck Stop used before they went to the current Freightliner. I bought a RM Snap together Mack with the fuel tanker and want to build the trailer as a Love's truck. Also, where can I find some better wheels and tires for 1:35 American semi-trucks and trailers?
Fabrux Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Love's has been using Freightliner for a while, have seen pictures of Columbias and Centuries. Nowadays they also use Pete 579s and Volvos in addition to the short and long hood Cascadias. So I'm sure a Mack R wouldn't be out of place.
rsxse240 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Posted March 17, 2018 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I mean, I don't really ever build for historical accuracy, just for what I love. The thing I love about the Love's Fuel Trucks is the paint job/colors. I am also going to go to Basket Market again and get one or two more of these and do a Flying-J and maybe modify one to make one to resemble a local fuel transport company that runs a bunch of these rolling custom truck shows. Thanks for your input, Chris.
Fabrux Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 I did an image search for old Love'stankers and couldn't find much. Surprisingly a bunch of Flying J tankers showed up; they didn't look as good back in the day.
