Vintage Hauler/Ramp Truck

[Xingu]

Are there any kit versions of old ramp trucks similar to this?

I don't remember seeing anything like that hood in scale personally but that is a cool looking truck

Michael, here is the truck cab:

As for the ramp itself, this one from the AMT/Model King release of the Racer's Wedge and Open Road Camper from around the mid 2000s, the ramp from the Papa Truck/Hideout Truck haulers, and the Ford Race Car Hauler are the only ones I know of in scale.

The Ford's bed may be your easiest choice, but not having one readily on hand, I don't know how much of the extra stuff is molded to the side panels of the bed itself. The bed for the Papa Truck, on the other hand, I do have easy access to, and it would build up to something very close to your pic. The width would be close, big rigs and duallys are very close in width, and the length would be about right too. I scaled the bed with my 1/25th scale ruler and it scales out to just about 24 1/2 feet long. The only modifications I could really see you needing to do with the Papa Truck bed is filling one of the drive axle cutouts and cutting off the skirting that extends under the cab of the truck in the box pic, that skirting is molded into the sides. Even if you would just use the deck from either and scratchbuild sides for the bed, these ideas should get you on your way!

Thanks so much for the info. Doesn't have to be exactly like the photo, just looking for a vintage ramp truck to display some cars when I get them done. I just really like the look of 30's thru 40's trucks.

You can get fairly close to the cab with this kit, then reinforce and lengthen the frame, easy flat-panel scratchbuild of the ramp section.
