Am I the only want that wants a parts pack of the 1 ton wheels, leaf springs, and badging to convert previously purchased Moebius trucks to the 1 ton variety? I'd buy 6 parts packs right now. Guess I'll just have to 3d print the parts instead. There are files available for the dually wheels that were made to fit the moebius tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to print these on the resin printer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoninUtah Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Erik, great news! Looking forward to building this one. It inspired me to drag out my old Chevy wrecker... this is one I did about 15 years ago. Both the truck and the wrecker are old Herb Deeks resins. I also have a '50 Chevy COE he did; as I recall he also did a similar 2-ton Ford conventional and COE. Wish I had gotten those as well! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two different beds, scuttlebutt is there will be more than one release of the wrecker with different year cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I did with my old built up 60 & 63 ford trucks. I had 3 60s & 2 63s, I got enough out of them to buy a bunch of these wreckers.

The last ones I have are opened, but they should still fetch a decent price. Likely a wash with the new kit pricing which I bet will go for $40-ish.

ABC Auto Industry Posted Thursday at 05:51 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:51 PM (edited) Oh cool! Never knew this existed. I wonder if the wrecker body would fit on other pickups, because it'd be nice to do a GM version. EDIT: Never mind, I forgot about the Revell wrecker kit.

That Midnight Cowboy kit has a very nice Holmes Trooper Wrecker set up. We sold them in the 80s, as an upgrade to the 440s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
