mchook Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 This was a snowplow kit but I left the plow off. I built a Chevy like this a while ago and someone wanted one like it so this is what I came up with. I used a chopped up floor from a wrecker kit & built the rest. The person that's getting it is sending me the "Fat Mike's Towing" decals for the doors. I added some wires & hoses under the hood and some poor looking door panels. The last picture is of the other one. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill lanfear Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Excellent work on this Jay! The weathering is spot on and the details are excellent. Is the wheel lift scratch built as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the wheel lift scratch built as well? Thanks Bill, I'm a huge fan of your builds. Yeah, the wheel lift, boom, winch, bed sides & bumper are all stuff I built. The lift pivots and everything slides and adjusts for the vehicle being towed. I made it so it can be removed & the old smash & grab sling can be used too, that pivots and moves the way it should too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I always enjoy your builds! The weathering is always excellent!! Of course I like tow trucks too. Excellent work! I like the homemade wheel lift. We considered making something like that for our 69 Ford, but we ended up replacing it with a 93 Ford with a factory wheel lift.
