Yeah, guess we all would prefer to see "Made with Pride in USA" written on the box.... FWIW:

Yes. Same thing, different source: https://www.ebay.com/itm/176166115720

Super nice - well done...! :goodjob: I admire your skills and patience to be able to create such a perfect model without having the real thing sitting close-by.

Suspicion confirmed! Here... While I called it a "West Coast" I did notice that it wasn't the 2.5ton version. This great picture shows them both, side by side. There must be a reason they put the extra wide 10-ton mirrors on those tankers (?)

What you see in that picture is the so-called West Coast mirror, which is not period-correct for the gasser trucks. The very early gassers came with the (flimsy) one-arm mirrors and corresponding brackets, on both sides. Later they added a second arm on the drivers side, and the bracket was...

No gasket, there.

Sounds like your radiator inlet Ø isn't stock size (?) It should measure 1.75"

This change was done today, not sure why.... ?? I agree, it looks kind of weird (especially for us "old-school" who were taught to always start a new sentence at the very left of page.)
