This is a model of a 1950 Chevy pickup used by the
West Side Lumber Co. of Tuolumne, California. It is a Busch product,
which Joe Piazza stripped the paint and repainted it using Polly Scale paints
in a prototype color. The decals, including the Chevy logo were made
on Joe's Alps printer. He substituted the Busch farm truck wheels for
the chrome wheels which came with the truck. In the bed is a modified
Resin Unlimited chainsaw backdated to represent a '50s model.
There is also an Evergreen gas can. Finally, the mirror was made from
wire and styrene.
