Old Chevy Wrecker

[old-hermit]

I've been working on some 1/25 trucks lately just for a change of pace.

I combined two kits to create the one I wanted.

As a towtruck owner myself, no a real one, the truck u built is just kick ummmmm? you get my drift, really nice detail, just awsome man!!! But out here in Arizona you cant have red lights to the front, only to the back, but a sweet build man...

I see the combo of the Midnight cowboy kit with the cab of a 57 chevy pickup. That is a fantastic merge of 2 kits. well done

As a Ex-TowTruck Driver (Fun job/low pay/Long hours)

Great looking Truck.

With one heck of a Push Bumper.

Nice tow truck, not something I see very often.

Different states have different rules for lights. Here in California blue is only for law enforcement, in Arizona some of the fire departments have red and blue lights, in Oregon tow trucks can have blue lights (or at least they could 20 years ago) and in many states blue lights are for volunteer firefighters. Some states treat tow trucks as full blown emergency vehicles allowing emergency lights and sirens. CalTrans has some neat tow truck / fire engines on the larger bridges, I've seen one on the Bay Bridge several times but can't seem to catch it somewhere I could get some pics of it.

That is a nice build! It has me thinking about digging out one of my old kits and getting back to work on it!

Just to add to the different rules for different states, here in South Carolina - Police are the only ones with Blue Lights, Fire / Emergency (including the volunteers) are Red, and Emergency Road Vehicles (Tow Trucks, Road Crews, etc.) are Yellow.

Hope this helps,

Same here, but depending on the town, police are either blue or blue/red.
