Ready for the heavy lift- The Revell Can-Do Wrecker

[Force]

Nice.

Revell Germany took a shortcut when they did the Can-Do wrecker and used their allready existing 359 kit and just added the wrecker parts and some others.
The original Can-Do truck was...or should I say is because Stepp's Towing Services still have it as far as I know... a 379 short hood and it's not only the model of truck that's wrong, the real truck also had a Cat 3406 engine and not a Cummins NTC 475, back then the truck also had chromed 2 hole steelies at the rear, the truck has been restored and upgraded some since then with a heavier underlift boom and now has 10 hole Alcoas all around and a different bug shield on the hood.

Yeah, like I said earlier, they added 379 headlights to their standard 359 and called it good. I purposely didn’t want to build this as the Stepp’s rig because I wanted to have more latitude in building it as I wanted, although it’s not much different.

Well, we won the fourth place People’s Choice award! Not bad for going against a lot of really cool cars in a car show full of car guys!

Maybe they know as much about what's different between a 359 and a 379 as they did with the Marmon wich is the same Peterbilt 359 kit with a Marmon hood and grille...not exactly right there either.

Nice build by the way.

Congratulations Ron! 4th is really a result to be proud of! 👍 

That wrecker looks so great. Even car lovers had to recognize that!

Keep going!
