On the 1968 / 69 Hess Trucks the side decals were 7/8" from the ends. The 1972 / 74 Hess Truck side Decals are mounted 1 1/16 from the ends.

There is only one difference between the 1972 Hess Tanker Truck and the 1974 Hess Tanker Truck, that is that the 1974 Hess Tanker Truck has NO Gap at the rear end of the Cat walk and the tanker. The 1972 Hess Tanker has a 1/16" gap at the rear end of the cat walk and the tanker. Slight water stains to the box, the truck is |
