Thanks for the response! Right now, I'm leaning toward trying to fabricate one out of sheet brass. What thickness of brass would you recommend for that? Any help/info you can provide with dimensions/photos/sketches etc. would be most appreciated. Also, the paint job on it is kinda shoddy, and I'll be looking for someone to re-do that, so it won't look like I did it, which is the look I try to avoid as much as I can when it comes to painting anything delicate.

Greg,
I thought I had a spare of that truck, but I don't. You might have to look at fabricating the truck out of sheet brass. The wheels look to measure about 30". If you can find the wheel/axle combo and want to tackle fabrication, I can help with dimensions, photos, sketches, etc.
