Great picture Karl! That Indy Truck for what it is......is a cool piece.
Anyone ever figure out what it says on the door? I was able to translate WesternOutlaw but that's about it....

Well done Karl! Oh and if I may.....that screw....paint, putty or photoshop, it just stands out to much.

Thanks Normandy. I must say that I've always loved this Cargo Truck. I think it's one of Hasbro's best Indiana Jones items (followed by the German Motorcycle).

I'm not sure what the door says - something about a "large load, caution".

Re. the screw, noted and agree with you. I was looking at it after I photographed thinking that it should have been covered by a small hub cap or something. The silver color stands out.

Let's try this as a color variation:

Agree 100% with Normandy - that picture looks much better without the screw showing. The Indiana Jones truck is really a great vehicle for what it is, looks great in your picture.

What is written on the door:
"Caution pedestrians
"oversized load
"danger pallet...
(part of the last word is missing, it is behind the soldier's coat, don't now what is hidden)
