Great looking tow truck!!!
I've built a couple of tow trucks, but neither of them exist anymore, as in built in the 1970's
One was the MPC '71(?) Chevy P/U that had "tow truck" parts, same one that shows up now and then released as "Cooter's tow truck" to go with the other "Dukes of Hazzard" kits
The other was the Revell "Midnght Cowboy" tow truck in the later '70's, the down side of that kit was the truck was based on Revell's Sneaky Pete P/U out just before the tow truck, but the tow bed and all related parts, that someone said it looked like a Holmes 440 tow bed.
Don't remember too many other actual 1-Ton type tow truck kits.
Recently bought a "Midnight Cowboy" kit, Now looking for the old AMT GMC short bed pickup.
Saw a pic in an OLD SAE where someone mated the tow bed to the GMC kit without having to modify the frame length. But.......the GMC kit is hard to find and a reasonable price.
Am in the same boat with a big rig tow truck I'd like to take a stab at, Mating the tow bed from the old AMT Peterbilt rig, and mate it to the double Freightliner tractor kit. by using the longer dual axle frame and putting the Day cab in place of the larger sleeper cab.
Both of the above are based on real trucks that I not only saw back in the '70's, but rode with at times with the owner one tow jobs, especially the Freigthliner and his smaller Ford Louisville "heavy duty" tow truck
Sorry about hi-jacking this thread.....
