A section of Bob Caley’s beautifully displayed toy truck collection. 

​For the family’s farming needs, Bob Caley’s dad owned a Ford truck with a stake rack to transport livestock. His sons were gifted this Tru-Scale truck like the one used on the farm. Following heavy play, Bob completely restored it.

​A half-ton Dodge fleet-side pickup is among Bob Caley’s toy truck trove. Bob said he simply acquired it for its style and color scheme. 

This 1/16 scale half-ton Chevy pickup was made by Ertl. It holds a special memory for Bob Caley, as his sons played with this truck as youngsters. Note the oversize wheels, both front and rear.
