I think this whole cars toy line is a variant though... No other one like it that's for sure!!!

The trailer should be a flat floor version like Gil's! With some minor modifications (such as cutting off the reefer unit on the front, if desired) Gil's trailer could be easily converted to match the picture. The biggest challenge would be lengthening the wheelbase of the Walmart tractor so that the trailer will fit. You might be able to find a cheap or broken tractor to cannibalize. Since the trailer logo's and cab markings are also different (old style) this would make a completely different Walmart truck. Sorry, my old modelers streak is showing again, I will have to beat it back down since I am collecting now.
