First Gear GMC 4000: Flatbed, Grain Truck or Stake Body?
First Gear’s three GMC 4000 trucks share a 1:64 scale, but the cargo bodies give each a different role on the shelf. There is an orange flatbed, a turquoise-and-red grain truck, and a yellow stake truck with black sides. Choose the body that fits the scene you want to build.

Orange flatbed 60-2259: an open-platform subject
The GMC 4000 flatbed, 60-2259 is finished in Omaha Orange. Its exposed platform keeps the truck’s shape in view, whether you display it alone or beside freight scenery.
Cargo is not specified as included. Before choosing pallets or crates, measure the usable deck and check any raised details. The truck’s overall length will not tell you how much platform space is available.
The platform sits on the truck itself, so this gives a work-truck collection a different outline from a highway tractor with a separate trailer.
Grain truck 60-2260: a contrasting agricultural finish
The grain truck, 60-2260 pairs a turquoise cab with a red cargo body. Keep both colors in mind when checking the photos; only the cab is turquoise.
It suits a farm-hauling display or a collection built around contrasting work-truck finishes. You get the grain-truck subject in a single vehicle rather than a tractor-and-trailer rig.
Plan to show it as a static model. A tipping body and working discharge gate are not promised by the listing.
Yellow stake truck 60-2261: the sided-body alternative
The stake truck, 60-2261 combines a bright-yellow cab with a black stake body. Its sided cargo area gives it a different profile from the open flatbed and the more enclosed grain body.
The photo shows one truck both loose and packaged; the purchase is one model. Removable stake sides are not specified, so avoid assuming they work like sections on a full-size truck.
What the three models have in common
All three list approximately 4.75 × 1.75 × 1.5 inches, rubber tires, diecast construction with plastic parts, and no opening body panels.
Those shared features make the cargo body and finish the useful points of comparison. None is listed with an opening hood for an engine display.
Allow some room around the mirrors and body details when choosing a cover. Use GMC 4000 as the vehicle name in your notes; 4000 is not a model year.
Choose by the scene you want to build
The flatbed gives you an exposed deck, the grain truck an agricultural subject, and the stake truck a sided body. All three can make a clear comparison in one row, but they are separate purchases.
For a gift, check the body style and item number as well as the GMC name. A matching cab does not make the flatbed the same choice as the grain truck.
