Nice truck. It's a Lil' Beaver truck and it was manufactured in Canada. If you would like to have the two mirrors, two windshield wipers and one horn for your truck, you can purchase from this eBayer.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-STRUCTO-MIRRORS-WIPERS-AND-HORN-SET-PARTS-/260849796090?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item3cbbdc03fa#ht_500wt_1287
Even though it says these parts are for a Structo truck they are the proper pieces for your truck, as well. I purchase parts from him often - he is courteous, ships promptly and his parts are good quality. I love your truck! JP
Thank-you very much for the info & kind words jpzank. I tried the link you gave , he only sells to US customers ,a common problem for us "Canuks". Thanks anyway.I'll keep looking!
If you want the set, I'll contact him and ask him to make an exception. You may have to pay a few dollars extra shipping, but it would be worth it to have the parts on your truck. James
James, that would be awesome. You can get me @ pickrknows@yahoo.ca
Thank-you for the help.
