I have these 2 small scale aprox. 1/48 (6" long) scale blue diamond Mack dump trucks. They appear to be copies of Smith miller large scale die cast. There is no markings on them what so ever. I know that first gear made some small scale trucks of this type but these seem to be different than their issues. The chassis are a pressed steel with a working tandem suspension in the rear. They are very heavy for the size and are all metal. Any body that knows who the maker is or year of production please post a response. Thank You.

I have the B Model Mack, first photo but in red packed away somewhere. They were made by a small cottage industry type shop in the 80's if I remember correctly. My first thought was Don Mills but his are way more detailed. There was a guy in PA named Lou ??? that made a lot of 1/48 trucks as well, sorry I just can't remember who it was for sure.
It will come to me someday,lol
Nice trucks.
