Rio Grande Motorway Truck, looking for ideas

I have this 1:25 scale truck that I plan to repaint as a Rio Grande Motorway truck:
The Pepsi truck I have is a 1951 Ford.
I'm thinking of painting the entire truck a dark redish color. The top of the box part will be silver. The underframe black.
Then I'm thinking of putting "Rio Grande Motorway" in white on the box part.
But I'd like to hear from anyone here that has ideas on how to transform this truck into a Rio Grande Motorway truck. And prototype photos are always helpful
