Matchbox diecast....from what set? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anybody know what set this is from? 5 piece? 10 piece? A pic of the set would really help.
Notice the tampo/decal on the side; there is another orange truck like this one.

Check post #3 for more details.

I found one on ebay. It came in a 10 piece set distributed in 2008.

I saw that truck at Wal-Mart the other day in a set. If no one else gets an answer I will take a look the next time I am there.
Are you looking for a set to buy? Shipping would obviously add a lot for you, but if they still have it I will pick it up and ship it.

I bet that you saw this one (which I have), see attached pic.

The one I want says "Diecast Salvage Yard" with crossed wrenchs.
The one I have has a pic of deer/buck head and says "?? Lodge".

No, the one I saw is the one you posted first. It definitely said salvage yard on it. I almost bought the set because I thought that one truck was so cool.

That's probably the set. I think it had 10 cars in it. I know it was the truck in your first post. It was the 23rd of December when I saw it, I was looking for some cool match box cars to give my boys.
I will try to get to Wal-Mart tonight and check again. If it's there I will get a picture so you know what set it is.

We just got back from Wal-Mart and no dice. The spot where the sets were was empty. They were $9.97 for the set of 10. I should have bought the set when I saw it.

I got one on ebay it was still cheaper than the set even with shipping
