TORO (Wheel Horse) tractor trailer

[WVHillbilly520H 10,369]

I found this TORO branded tractor trailer while Christmas shopping this past December and figured that since most of the other bigger true "Wheel Horse" haulers go for a mint and all my  tractors are from the TORO era why not get it then modify to my liking with some decals... I haven't applied them yet but took a few pictures to show what they may end up looking like... I really prefer 1 set over the other but please feel free to voice an opinion, thanks Jeff.

Wicked cute rig Jeff!

 

I like the lower (no flames) set.

 

I'm also quite fond of the fact that it's a cabover truck.

Here's the Nylint version... The one I snagged is ERTL but about 1/2 size.

Lower, flameless one for me as well.

 

Wish I could find something like the GMC one over here. I'll have to pay a visit to the local model shop next time in town.

Great Idea and both decals look good, tough decision, but having an old soul I vote for the flameless.

Well said Jim.

I think that's what attracted me to it as well...

I had one just like this as a child and kept in near mint condition, but 15 years ago my son came along and we'll let's just say it didn't survive very well.

some of our tonka trucks and dozers suffered a crushing death in our dirt pile

Yep... I know the deal... His mother didn't hold him to the same standards of responsibility as mine had...

For me a set of FLAMES is the way to go.                           OR, you could do one side with flames and one side without and then just turn the truck around depending on the mood you are in that day.

 The flame one looks more sporty but a noflame is also pretty nice.

 

i like both designs, but to be honest i‘m more on the flames.. 👍

[JCM 8,645]

 @953 nut     Boy you Hot Rod guys sure love your flames and being born in the late 50's I think they are pretty cool myself.           

[WVHillbilly520H 10,369]

@PeacemakerJack, @pullstart, @WHX24... What do you think?

[SylvanLakeWH 24,129]

No flames...

I like Richards idea of one each side Jeffrey. Flames never go out of style tho!

At an auction last summer and a NIB WH one went for like 75. Bid on up to 50. Box was a little beat up but  after seeing what they go for on fleabay 75 was a deal!

I’m going against the grain.... flames all the way!
