That is a 41-46/47 Chevrolet, there is no model version of that cab in resin or plastic that I know of. If you find one please show it off because I want one too.

RMR doesn't actually have a 47 like that. 1947 was a transitional year, early 47 is like the truck evilone posted, late 47 is the later 48-55 style. I ordered some stuff from him last year and he said he basically put the same truck twice by mistake, he has it listed as a 47 and as a 48-50 but its the same casting.

Danbury mint made a '38 GMG very similar to that style. Look on eBay, keep your eye open for damaged, missing the box or some accessories and they will be a lot cheaper.

I got this one way cheaper than a resin kit. It doesn't hurt so much to modify a broken DM! (picture of it on monitor)

They also made a red Budwieser truck and a dark blue"DM" flatbed car carrier. Seems the Coke trucks are cheapest, then the Buds. Be patient and wait for a better deal.

Thank you and curse you, now I have something else to find. :lol:

I could find a use for a couple of those, but I love all old cab overs, just so odd looking.

Another funky cabover to keep in mind is the White. (55, I think)

There are strait truck versions; Coke, Bud, plus a Christmas version, much cheaper than this carrier, currently on eBay, will close for. I picked up a yellow Coke truck for less than $50 including shipping. It had no box, that's the type to look for. Much better prices when something is not there, or lightly damaged.

how much do you want for the coke truck ill trade or buy it off you

I wasn't planning on selling it, e-o. In fact, I already took that gaudy Coke body off of it, planning a flatbed or something else. But be patient and watch eBay (I know there's a stink over new policies) Again, look for damaged or no box, etc. :)

I don't know if they are still aroound or not but Mill City Replica's used to offer several C.O.E. s they might have something that would work. I built the 40 ford coe they had and it was a nice clean casting.
