I have been looking at several model companies to see if anyone is currently putting out an older dual wheeled truck.  I haven't found anything except AMT's Stake truck.  I didn't want anything like a dump truck but rather a 1 ton - 3 ton truck from between the 1930's to 1970's.  The stake truck might work but I didn't want a cab over. Although I suppose I could change that with different truck cab?  Any thoughts?  thanks?

Since you are looking for 1-3 ton trucks, I am assuming that you are not looking for a pickup bed style truck. If that is the case the only thing that you will probably find in straight kit form in 1/24 or 1/25 scale as far as American trucks go will be the C cab Ford. However if you were to kitbash and even source aftermarket resin suppliers, then you have several options. The Ford Louisville kit may could be modified into what you are looking for. If you are interested in 1/35 scale, there are probably more options among the military stuff.

This was made from the Orange Blossom Special kit. Although I made a road tractor, you could make a straight truck.

This one was made with a resin cab and help from the 50 Ford pickup kit, along with some extra parts.

This one was made with a resin cab, Lindberg Dodge truck kit and Louisville dump bed.

Although not offered in one kit and one box, you have several options. Check out Dave at A.I.T.M. for some resin options.
