Ok.  There is a product called Amazing Mold Putty.  I took the faces off the trucks and made mold castings for them.  With a few sculpting tools, you can get the oven grey clay and modify the face like they do for the TV Series!  Then once you cook it for 15 min, put a "glue dot" on the back and wala!  A truck face!  I did this for Bachmann Branchline trucks as well.
Just a tip for you who don't like faceless trucks. 

Hint:make the face not too thin or it will break easily!

Be sure to use the kit I described, cause another may pull the eyebrows and facial colors off...

I'll post some pics of some of mine soon.

Well, they stay on, but hard biffing can cause them to come off.  If you do plan to keep the face on, you must reconsider it if you don't want to put a face back on after a hard biff or two.  You can get the face molder at Michael's craft store.
It isn't easy to remove these faces. You have to carefully pry it off..
