Midwest Coast GMC "Crackerbox" Truck Tractor & 40' Refrigerated Trailer - By Fred Gruin


Fred Gruin built this Midwest Coast rig using an Ivers Engineering white metal GMC "Crackerbox" setback axle cab mounted on a Wiking frame with A-Line wheels, windshield wipers, and mirrors. Details include Alloy Forms dual exhaust stacks, Don Mills air horn, and fuel tanks from the parts box. The trailer is a 40' Milepost 501 with a reefer unit and fuel tank from the parts box. Metal wheels on the trailer are from a Pirate Models bus kit. Ken Goudy supplied the decals on both units.
