Thanks guys, a future project will be trailer to complete this rig. Moebius' new 53' one will be a good starting point as it has similar sides and they are blank (unlike Ertl Great Dane van with curbside door) so can be shortened to the correct length for earlier era. Article says trailer was a 42', not sure if that was a typo or if there were 42' ones back then.

They had 42 foot trailers back then. I own a 42 foot stainless steel Great Dane Reefer that was built in 78.

Thanks for the 42' trailer info, will go with that length when the model version is built. Thinking Moebius sides with AMT end/floor/roof to get required length and 96" width from that era (early 1970's).
