PHPaul Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 Gathering supplies for a planned service truck build and would like find things like an air compressor, welder, oxy/acetylene tanks, tool boxes and other things of that nature to load the service body with. I did a search and did find a couple of kits but $30 to $70 for a kit I can use 2 or 3 items from is a non-starter. Most of the service truck-related posts are are 4+ years old so links are dead. I could design and 3D print some of the stuff, but I'd like to have the option of just ordering it. Any leads appreciated, thanks.
bobss396 Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 The AMT '53 Ford truck had a decent torch set in it. The AMT '49 Mercury had hand tools in it. I had a NASCAR pit set that I sold, that had decent tool boxes in it. Look to see what VCG resins has to offer.

stavanzer Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 Oh, Some of the Monogram NASCAR Kits had a few tools, and a Nifty Rollaway Toolbox in them along with a Very Nice Jack, and Gas Can. I can't find a Photo of the parts right now.

ncbuckeye67 Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 Etsy is a good source of 3D printed tools, and some R/C accessories are in 1/24th scale. There are also several doll house items in 1/24 scale, coffee pots, microwave, tools, etc
PHPaul Posted September 12, 2024 Author Posted September 12, 2024 Thanks for all the leads, folks! I did find a few very nice .STL files on Thingiverse that I'm printing now. Will need some hand tools to populate the compartments tho.
