Here's a closer look at Jim Groeneweg's rebuilt Trucks N' Stuff International ProStar sleeper tractor. Jim stripped the factory paint and began his rebuilding with a new paint job, A-Line two hole steel wheels, and a "cheater" rear frame section. The fifth wheel was removed, sectioned, and frame rails raised, then the fifth wheel reattached to scratchbuilt carrier plate, exhaust stack bracket fabricated from Plastruct ABS plastic, frame mounted step on the driver's side, and Promotex half fenders installed. The CB antenna was mounted on the right mirror and right hand spot miror mounted on the fender and painted in 1968 GM truck colour. Also added was a Boley IHC 4000/7000 series interior. It resembles a Penske lease unit. Previously featured in Photo Gallery 458.
