Non-acetone nail polish remover. Use tissues or paper towels. Go slowly & use just a little bit to start. It should bite into the white graphics first, but if you work too aggressively, you could cut into the red paint, especially around the edges. 

I used this stuff to wipe the graphics off of a 1/18 scale General Lee some time ago- no small feat. I also wiped the Pepsi graphics off of a First Gear Dodge A-100 Van. 

Go slowly to start and you'll get the technique. The Speedway pickup should be the perfect first time project for this.

FWIW,

A local Speedway gas station still has a supply of these--and at the REDICULOUS PRICE of $9.95!  (it's in a university town, and everybody here was gone right about the time the IH pickups hit, for the holidays.
