    This is the 1988 GMC General SBFA Big Sleeper Metallic Grey in 1:43 scale by IXO.The 1988 GMC General SBFA Big Sleeper is a classic American heavy-duty truck that represents the final evolution of GMC’s long-haul highway tractors before the model line was discontinued. Designed for serious over-the-road use, it featured a large displacement diesel engine—commonly a Detroit Diesel 8V92 or Caterpillar option—paired with a multi-speed manual transmission, delivering the torque and durability needed for cross-country hauling. What set the GMC General apart from its competition was its “Big Sleeper” configuration, offering an extended cab with significantly more living space than most trucks of the era, making it ideal for long-haul drivers spending days or weeks on the road. Combined with its square, commanding styling, robust frame, and driver-focused ergonomics, the 1988 model stands out as one of the last truly classic American cab-over alternatives before more modern aerodynamic tractor designs took over the industry.Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are handpainted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photoetched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used.
