How to identify this version
Confirm the yellow finish and France mark, then match the #1920 toy number. The catalog entry does not specify a door detail, so do not use door color to identify this listing.
- Read the base and packaging marks instead of inferring the factory from color alone.
- Record the full truck-and-trailer condition, including the steering wheel and trailer.
- Do not use #1917 as the toy number; it is the shared Hauler mold reference.

Physical details and packaging
The GMC Van belongs to the 1981 Steering Rigs line, which paired a truck with a trailer that could be guided by a large rear-mounted steering wheel. Record the tractor and trailer as separate parts when checking completeness.
Hot Wheels collector catalogs identify blackwall wheels on the documented GMC Van entries. For details not stated for this exact finish, rely on the markings and parts of the car being examined rather than transferring specifications from another version.
Value research
Compare only examples with the same country, color and trailer-door detail, and separate loose, complete and packaged condition. Paint wear, missing parts and packaging condition affect comparisons. This guide records identification details and does not assign a price to this release.
Research note
The yellow France #1920 appears in the Hot Wheels Newsletter catalog. HWC Garage's GMC Van record lists the two gray door variants and does not include this yellow entry, so catalog evidence is not uniform. The release record is cross-checked against the 1981 Steering Rigs catalog and HWC Garage’s GMC Van entry. Catalogs differ on the yellow France listing; see the parent guide’s research note for that distinction.
