Revell is re-releasing the "Captain Hook" original version of this kit. It should be out this summer/fall??

The 1:1 truck pictured has an early Eighties front clip (similar to the MPC Deserter GMC; note the marker holes on the front fender), and a different wrecker bed (similar to the Revell Midnight Cowboy).  One of the Moebius Ford wreckers (either the currently available one, or the next one coming) should also have a wrecker bed like that.

Yes, the upcoming Low Side wrecker from Moebius looks exactly like the movie pic. If it's a Chevy (I can't tell), the MPC Sodbuster has that cab and grille.

from what i understand they kitbashed gmc and chevy parts to make both this and the flat bed wrecker  aka they used gmc grilles from the early 80's with late 70's chevy cabs
