The pictures I posted are off web sites. The truck is supposed to be a faithful reproduction of the original truck as Sam Walton was driving it around. It has scratches that are rusted just above the rear right side wheel and just below the missing molding. The roof of the cab has a big rusted area on it and there are rusted scratches on the right side also. The truck that is missing the chrome door mirrors is how the model comes in the package the mirrors are part of the accessories that the owner has to install. Other accessories that have to be installed are an antenna for the radio, a chrome rear step bumper, a rimless spare tire the dog and bag of dog food.

The model comes without the raised white lettering on the tires. And I seem to remember reading that the owner of that model painted the white lettering on his truck.

The truck in the Wal-Mart visitor center has raised white lettered tires.

Thanks for all the info. I had noticed the rusty scratch on the side and the antenna difference. My cousins live near the WalMart home office, so maybe next time I am in their area, maybe I will go see the truck. I have photos of many famous cars or cars of famous people so it would be neat to add Sam’s truck. Sam’s truck really looks to be in nice condition, actually.
