Nascar Haulers

[BMC Tackle]

I want to get a truck kit complete with rear trailer to set it up as a Nascar Hauler. Any suggestions on a good kit to purchase for this purpose?

Why do you ask such hard question?

Most any truck cab will do. If you want to replicate a specific NASCAR driver's transporter, it's prolly gonna take more work. Example: I (eventually) plan to build a replica of the #5 Kellogg's Terry Labonte transporter. Based on the reference pic. I have of his transporter, I needed two different Italeri Peterbilt truck cabs. One for the truck. The other for the sleeper.

Trailer - Well....there's no kit that even close to a Featherlite 53' spread axle NASCAR trailer so that means scratchbuilding and kitbashing. A couple of years back, there was a fellow from the Randy Ayer's NASCAR board who was offering the basic trailer as a craftsmans style it. He supplied the big (no HUGE) sheets of styrene. You supply and do the rest.

This is one of those "Build it before I die" projects. Someday...just not today.

If, on the the other hand, you'd be happy with something smaller (like a Dually pickup and trailer) there are more options. Any of the Dually pickups from the '90's would work just fine to pull a Galaxie trailer. Been there. Done that. Got a '90's Chevy Extended Cab dually pulling one of the small Galaxie tag along trailers with a then current WC MC built to replicate a NASCAR North entry.

I looked at several kits today. There are some made by heller, but I am not too familiar with that brand.
