Anyone know if there is such a thing floating around? Everything I have found so far has steel and panels and roof.

Buzz, the only one that comes to mind is the RWA wood reefer, which is the one I used for my Swift meat reefers. On the reefer-main-01.psd there is a layer for the steel ends and a separate layer for the wood siding, which overlays the color. You could try disabling the steel ends layer, and creating your own wood ends layer. The only thing I'm not sure about is if there is a bump texture for the steels ends, which would cause the wood end to look like a steel end. It's worth a try.

Both Tennessee and Pipestone Pass include a wood-ended reefer.
