Does anyone know of any good-quality vintage (1970's and older; preferably older) truck mods out there. So far the only really old one I've found is the Mercedes 1519, but there are a zillion different versions of varying quality so I'm kind of lost.

Thanks!

Good vintage trucks are thin on the ground, but with regards the MB 1519 you should look for this one Mercedes Benz 1519 by jbartarquit
If you get stuck finding it then let me know...

It's hard to find any sort of good vintage truck mods whatsoever. I know GT-Mike is working on a Scania 141 over on the SCS forums but it will take a long time due to other projects and him recovering from illness. The best older truck mods are probably the Scania 143M and Volvo F10 mods. Anything older than that is of poor quality.

Thanks, both of those links turned out to be really high-quality. It's too bad there aren't more out there; I thought there would be pretty big demand for stuff like that, or maybe it's just me :D

This post on vintage trucks caught my eye ...

Unfortunately it caused the game to crash after a while.

So I now drive this ... (no game crash yet)

Quite cool, especially as I grew up seeing these on the roads, especially the older truck.
Does that mean I am vintage too? :lol:

Oh sorry, I mixed up the 1519 with the 1632, would've suggested it earlier, it's a great mod!

There is plenty of demand for these kind of trucks but unfortunately most of the actually talented mod authors have set their sights on more modern models. I'm more of a modern fan but I'd love to see more of these nice quality vintage trucks every now and then.

I'd love to make them myself but unfortunately the key word there was "talented." I have some pretty cool fictional designs of my own which I would do as well. (Not to toot my own horn or anything :D)

Yeah, if only it were easier to make a truck in-game. I have plenty of ideas and nobody to suggest them to.

I was bored today so I put together a list of trucks that would be neat to see. And just for good measure, I also threw in those designs of my own that I mentioned.
