Roadmaster Cycle Truck info needed

[ozzmonaut]

Hello. I picked up what is likely a late 30's Roadmaster Cycle Truck, or delivery bike, or whatever the correct name is. I have been all over the net looking for info, but not much is out there. Any images are of repainted or badly rusted bikes, or containing lots of incorrect parts. I'd really like to see some pictures of correct or complete bikes with original paint, or even some catalog pics. Mine is covered in green house paint. I disassembled it and found that it appears to have originally been a very,very light green. However , it looks like the OG paint over most of the bike was gone or damaged before the repaint. I am thinking of repainting since it is so far gone, but I don't know what accents or striping would be correct. Plus I need to see what parts are correct, and what the bike should ultimately look like. Thanks for any help or direction you can give me.

Right now it is in pieces. I wish I had a before pic. It was kind of a basket case. I will be starting paint soon. Still hoping for some pics that will tell me what the paint should look like. I should be able to get some pictures up soon though.

I think it looks pretty sharp as is. It would make a good movie prop for sure.

I want to find one of these one day. Owned a few Schwinn CT's but this style is way better!
