I was just looking at Walther's vehicle section and found Alloy Forms lists a few 1930's era Macks with various bed types. Farther down the page the Mack Cj tractor is listed as a 1933 model. At $28.99-$29.99 they had better be ready to run. They also list a Diamond Reo, but I don't know if that is 1930's, post WW2 1940's or 1950's. They also list a number of 1930 era semi trailers of various configurations. I think grain would have been hauled in either the van or the canvas topped van in the 1930's. hose are the only 1930's era trucks I found at Walthers. There may be other small companies out there making trucks that aren't listed on Walthers site, but I'm not aware of them. I think the only 1930's era vehicles that Athearn makes are the Model A Fords. I looked at the one picture that they had of the Autocar. I think that truck may be modern, but if you get a tractor and use a 1930's era trailer, I think it could pass for a pre-war truck. That was part # 119-7001. They had a different Autocar with a roll on-roll off trash compactor body (the pic appeared to be a tractor) that is definitely a new truck.
