1990 Hot Wheels Big Rig 1790 B2: Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
The B2 record is the yellow Big Rig from the 1990 Big Rigger Stunt set without the stars-and-stripes side decal. The Hot Wheels Newsletter’s detailed casting notes list it separately from B1, whose yellow body carries the decal. The digital catalog includes B1 but does not show B2 as a separate entry.
This release belongs to the Hot Wheels Big Rig family. The 81 mm tractor has a metal body, plastic base and windows, with a sleeper cab.
Release identification
Inspect the yellow body and base, black windows and blackwall tires, then look for the stars-and-stripes side graphic. B2 is identified by its absence; confirm that the truck is the Big Rig Stunt set release before treating a missing decal as the B2 record.
Physical Details
The yellow 1790 B2 is the Big Rigger Stunt set truck without the stars-and-stripes decal found on B1.
Packaging Details
The catalog identifies B2 with the 1990 Big Rigger Stunt set and distinguishes it from the B1 Stunt Show truck by the absence of the side decal.

Collector notes
Record the truck’s year, variation label, paint and wheel details together. Inspect the sleeper, hitch, windows, base and visible wear. When the truck comes from a set, note the packaging or set name separately so the release can be identified without assuming a complete set is present.

Value Research
Compare a B2 truck with the documented 1990 Big Rigger Stunt set issue: yellow body and base, black windows, blackwall wheels, and no side decal. B1 has the stars-and-stripes graphic, so condition or decal wear must be checked before assigning the no-decal record.
Compare condition, completeness and original pack or set context with the exact release record. This guide does not assign a price range.
