Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

GMC Topkick Refrigerated Truck - By Jim Groeneweg


Jim Groeneweg started working on this Topkick several years ago and finally finished it up! He took some steel disc wheels (new then) from an Athearn C Cab Ford and put them on this Boley chassis, took the reefer box from a tandem axle chassis and added to a modified single axle unit. The grab handles, curbside step, rear bumper/tail lights  changed to North American style, and added a "weed burner" exhaust system. The box resembles a Morgan brand best, needing some decals to finish it off completely.
