Missed out on this 67 King Size GMC with Fruehauf hopper trailers on fleabay. Forgot I was supposed to be watching the auction for it . Oh well just have to keep looking.
Had this same one when I was a child. Left it unattended for about 15 minutes at the beach while on vacation with my parents in Miami ,and when I came back to my "excavation" it was gone. That was almost 39 years ago.
Funny how seeing an old toy brings back memories. :)

Nice!!!

THat is a beauty.

King Size and Major Packs are finally getting their due. Buy them now while you can still afford them.

I still have my childhood example but it is very playworn.I liked to transport sand and orange powder paint -it still shows traces of the time the paint was wet......I haven´t seen the Superfast version of this -was it made?
I have picked up some SuperKings this summer as the price was nice and lower than regular wheels.I also prefer the brighter colors :dude: but then I was a transitional child ;) Who has this truck?

I'll be suprised if I can ever afford one. I was beat out on another auction this week :( and saw one go way out of my price range :drunk: . Thanks to Whimsical I now have the rear tandem trailer, now if I could just win one of the auctions ending tonight I'll either have a complete set or a triple bottom :thumbsup:

Good luck,I am pulling for you!!!!

Sent the payment this morning, cant wait to get it and mate it up with the trailer Whimsical sent me. Then it will be complete. :thumbsup:

I went to a toyfair today -and remembering this post inspired me to pickup this unwanted K4 GMC in fair slightly playworn condition(but much better than my childhood example) for $7.
Mountain -I like the box art -it really sets off the truck but these boxes are very hard to find and expensive usually -I walked away from a $4 good paint trailer (yellow blue for the Dodge) missing its hook today-The mint K10 pipe truck in the tatty box cost me $20 today.I was very lucky with my finds today -last event before Christmas apart from e bay-the black Corgi rockets Mercedes is the pick of these for me -I have wanted one for 10 years to replace my trashed childhood example.I already have an F Box SF Iso in my collection so this one was a fairly cheap buy ($36) to sell on -car is not mint :rolleyes:

Today I cleaned up my childhood trailer and hooked it up to the GMC set I bought on sunday -its the first time I have ´driven` one of these in 30 years :dude:
The trucks in this photo all have some chips but none of them are trashed. I figured this whole lot cost me almost $80 to buy, near $100 with the boxed K10 shown above these plus 8 that were already in my collection make up my Kings collection -while I would like boxes ,I have a house to pay for so these previously cherished toys fit my budget :hat:

as you said eariler, the box art is a good backdrop for the toys :)
