This is a Highway 61 1940 Ford stake-bed truck. This one was done in "farm scale" 1/16 scale size. H61 did several trucks from various manufacturers in various configurations and all looked great. Although bigger, if placed carefully, they can be displayed with 1/18 vehicles and, of course, can be photographed with any scale.
This one was done beautifully in typical Highway 61 style and is wonderfully detailed. Other makes were done, too, like International Harvester, GM and Chevrolet, as well as Ford.

Love the farm scale (Most of my tractors are 1/16th) and your photos are phenomenal!

Personally I am new to all of this so am not really familiar with all the various sizes. One thing I do know is I have ordered, threatened and glared at if I order anything new new, until I box and place the sizes I currently have. So with that being the case, 1/16 models here I come hahahaha.

Lol ! I think the various Highway 61 trucks are fairly hard to come by now days ..... especially available to buy. Although eBay listings could prove me mistaken !
