Repo Unit

[RodneyBad]

Something I was toying with.

I was thinking about making a repo Truck.

Hidden wheel lift under the back bumper (or as bumper)

Then I decided to build a Boom for it.

And then........

The Boom (Century)

Century Wheel lift w/o tilting feature (unlike the Metro I did Earlier)

I might just build a tow truck and scrap the Truck bed.

[kasteer]

Nice looking work! Keep us posted!

(I think you have too much time on your hands... LOL)

[Guest Gramps-xrds]

Man, you spent some time building that boom. Awsome work.

What's goin' on...

Very Cool. I'd say build a wrecker bed for it.

[Wildrice]

Awesome work. What tires and wheels are on the truck?

[RodneyBad]

Repo Rig just not working?

I'll have to wait a bit and find my Wrecker bed info and start building one.

Maybe out of the Chevy extra cab or the Last issue of the 92-ish Ford

The tires are Bridgestone Mud duelers from an Import 4x4 kit (??) (24"inches tall in 1/24th)

The Resin wheels are from the parts box I got a few years ago at an NNL that SABA has put

on for Many Years here in Portland.

I hogged out the holes for some added depth

I simplified the wheel lift because the tilt option was a PITA the first time.

Thanks for the Comments.

Go to the U.S. Patent Database do a search for wrecker. I used that Data base for past projects because the patents all have drawings there and explainations which is a HUGE help for reference when scratchbuilding. I found several different wrecker bodies there while looking for info on heavy wrecker assemblies. On that site you can enter the patent if you know it. Look for patents by searching the manufacturer (example Jerr Dan,Challenger so on ) or just a general description. I had the link saved on my old computer which is in the landfill these days.
