While working on the GMC wrecker build, I picked up a roll-off container off of ebay.  It was 3D printed and came with the tilt rack.  I got to thinking the GMC chassis was just about the right size, so I picked up another GMC kit.  The plan is a trash bin roll-off from the 70's, no sleeper.  I'm using the wheels/tires from the Autocar Dump kit, I like the 11x22's better than the 10x20's in the GMC kit.  I also like the spoked wheels, I think they are more in line with the theme than ten hole's.  I'm also going to use this build to answer a few questions I have about the parts fit for the wrecker build.

This one is basically box stock, no sleeper and 11x22's.

Interesting build idea, do you have to build a filler panel for the back of the cab or is it just a window pass thru to the sleeper?

Don't need to do anything, just a window in the back of the cab.

Progress shot, rolling chassis.  Having trouble with the hood hinges, they won't work when installed according to the instructions.  If anyone has built one, let me know how you handled the problem.
