Looking for 1/72 scale truck model

Dear Friends:
Long story short:
1: old time local hobby store closing got 1/72 Models of Civil war light artillery at 50% off got 5 boxes
2: local Civil war unit was 1st New York Light Artillery Battery M had 6 10 pdr Parrott rifles.
3. I did living history in the 1980's did 4th Artillery battery B 12pdr mountain howister and 12 pdr Nopelion cannons went all over used to see the Cannon express trucks never got to get one to pose with our cannon limber and horses.
4. Am doing the Plastic of 6 horse hitch of cannon and limber and the cassion and limber
5. Does any one have a Truck like in the attached photos as a paper model that I could modify to 1/72 scale? to do a diorama of truck and Cannon rig in the same scale? Also any guesses about what the cab is in the photo? I am guessing that it would be best to find some thing in the 1/100 and scale it up I never saw the cannon express in e tandem rig but I bet that 12 horses and cannon and caisson will be longer than one 18 wheeler.
Thanks for any help,
Miles

1/100 but they scale up to 1/72 just fine.

Here is a very nice one in 1/72 scale by Julius Perdanda.

The tractor is more vintage than the one you posted.

Dear Friends:
Thanks for the Guidance I had forgotten about the PR model and I went through all the Rigs pages on the 1/100 site and got several that will work
Thanks
Miles
At some point I will have to learn how to repaint and use one of the trailers that is mostly white and put the other logo on it
