  1. Thanks David, unfortunately the real truck doesn't still exist, the next owner either wrecked it, or wanted a 396 Big Block and torching mounts and ripping cabs is an easier task than messing with 30 year old rusted bolts. It is rather sad that it did get wrecked as it is a very impressive hauler. Here's a picture of the real thing.
  2. Based on a homemade 3 car rollback from a local junkyard. The real truck was a 396 powered C65 Danco rollback bed with stinger, at some point the stinger was removed and replaced by a underreach and it gained the over head bed. My truck started as a MPC Sodbuster Chevy Pickup cab that had the front end replaced with a 3D printed Medium duty front end and put on a scratch built frame. The truck is mostly scratch built except the cab, interior, rear axle and wheels. Bed goes up and down, underreach goes back and forth. I like it, that's what really matters, I like it. At some point the real truck was either traded for a Camaro, or sold. It then lost the overhead bed and eventually returned wrecked. Thanks for looking
  3. Adding on to scratch building one, you can get a parts manual for a 1801 Holmes online for free, finding measurements may be a harder task. Either way this would be a fun build to watch.
  4. Strange, For me they're still here. Maybe this picture will work.
  5. Thank you Victor, I will for sure get more photos of the trailer once I finish it.
  6. Thank you David. Thank you Chris. Thank you Brian.
  7. Built box stock, Pretty easy considering I tend to build a lot of trucks. Tamiya Pearl White, turned out pretty nice. Decals are clear printer labels, Avery 22822. Thanks for looking!
