These are a few of our Buddy L trucks dating from the 1940s through the early 1960s. The earliest piece is the Sand and Gravel dump truck, which was manufactured in the '40s. Finding these in good or better condition is very difficult. The "B.L.F.D." fire truck is a late '50s piece and is in somewhat rough condition, but is on my list to be restored. The Texaco tanker and Texaco Fire Chief are both early '60s. The tanker and Fire Chief trucks are also prized additions of our larger Texaco collection. These look tremendous as part of our in-home display!
