        All of the Husky versions of the tanker could have been obtained at Woolworth's in the day. The Army version seems to be one of the harder ones to find back then as well.

          They are all nice, I have none, never seen the army one before, actually I don't remember ever seeing the Shell one before either.

            Nice collection. Just snarfed the Milk Tanker a couple weeks ago. Don't recall ever seeing it before, but had to bring it home. The vendor had a couple of the gray wheel ones but I liked the rubber tires slightly better for some reason.

                      I recently found the Milk Tanker in a bag of die cast at a thrift store:



                      It was missing a tire but upon handling the model, I could hear rattling inside. Got out the flashlight and had a peek.
                      Yes, it was the loose tire inside.
                      I got the tire out and found that it is malformed:

                      Here it is re-installed on the rim:

                        Guess the fast moving line worker must not have noticed the bad tire and just snapped it on the rim sending it down the line.
                        If you spun the deformed part to the top, you probably would never notice it sitting on a shelf for display.
