OK so this is my version of AMT Texaco Truck.

I love old wreckers so my goal is to build a twin boom holmes set up. Similar to this:

But more in this style:

This is the twin drum winch setup I will be using from KFS:

This is my box of parts scavenged from my main box of parts to include lights, rods and other stuff to scratch this out.

And this where I started. I chopped up a blazer frame I had for the rail extensions and cut the 50 Frame in half:

This is more or less the truck I plan to build:

I was trying to find rims like this but the I had an epiphany lol. Why not by this truck for 30 bucks and scavenge these wheels? Right?

I am guessing since I found this boom, this is the wonderful kit it came from lol. Any one got the pieces of the bed they could take a pic of in a blown up picture so I can see how they look. Or maybe the original instructions?

Found the instructions so direguard.

003.jpgNice pictures, hope you keep this going as I plan to build one. Mine will be more of a hot rod/ rat rod version. Painted an extra cab I had today and got the inspiration. Edited by rmvw guy
