The Greenes are building a new coup for the chickens, the dentist in town is putting an addition on his house to use as an office and the young Bradley couple is building their dream house out by the edge of town. All of this - plus an endless stream of building and maintenance throughout the area - means that Murdock Lumber is one busy place. Selling new lumber as well as milled work, Murdock Lumber is bustling with carpenters, contractors and do it yourselfers. And, if customers can't haul their wood and lumber home by themselves, Murdock is only too happy to deliver.

In his classic 1940 Ford Pickup, Murdock can be seen driving through town bringing every size and type of lumber to his customers. Murdock's pickup is truly one of the classic trucks of all time. At work in a variety of situations - from builders to farming, from hauling to ranching, from snow plowing to just plain transportation - the Ford pickup was recognized as a versatile performer. its roomy, sturdy payload was ideal for toting size-able loads. Now, a precision-engineered die-cast model recreates Murdock Lumber's vintage 1940 Ford Pickup. With a payload full of plywood, 2x4s and barrels of nails, your Murdock Lumber 1940 Ford Pickup is produced by - and available from - Matchbox Collectibles.
