Thats an interesting collectible die cast that you have. I do notice that it has the left bedside molding missing but it faithfully reproduced the attachment clips for the molding! Thats really a neat detail.

The truck in post 91 has different wheels and has chrome outside door mirrors and possibly a difference in the seat. So there must have been 2 issues of the truck, making it even more rare.

The truly collectible die casts are those like this one, that were only made in very small quantities and usually not offered to the public. Good luck to you and Peggy in this re-arraingement of your lives, and Happy New Year.

The pictures I posted are off web sites. The truck is supposed to be a faithful reproduction of the original truck as Sam Walton was driving it around. It has scratches that are rusted just above the rear right side wheel and just below the missing molding. The roof of the cab has a big rusted area on it and there are rusted scratches on the right side also. The truck that is missing the chrome door mirrors is how the model comes in the package the mirrors are part of the accessories that the owner has to install. Other accessories that have to be installed are an antenna for the radio, a chrome rear step bumper, a rimless spare tire the dog and bag of dog food.

The model comes without the raised white lettering on the tires. And I seem to remember reading that the owner of that model painted the white lettering on his truck.

The truck in the Wal-Mart visitor center has raised white lettered tires.
