Just WOW! I'm not talking about the price. That is one sweet GMC Truck replica I'd like to own. Money's been all messed up this summer so far or I'm not so sure I wouldn't try to grab this.

Those are a little hard to come by, Highway 61 didn't make them for too long. There is also a grain bed and a really spectacular fire engine as well. Detail is pretty good, particularly the interior. My only gripe was the only major part that is die-cast is the cab. Display the flatbed with a Ertl or Spec-Cast die-cast tractor on the back and the plastic frame rails will sag eventually.

Really wish First Gear would do these trucks in 1/34th.!

I didn't realize the bed wasn't diecast. Pretty lame considering what they sold for. I'd like to own this, it's so sharp. I would want to use it to display something, though.

I just found this:
