Chuck Most Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 The idea here was an old service truck, which was no longer used to tow customer cars or plow driveways, but is now used by the semi-retired shop owner to clear his property of snow and move around the various hulks he's accumulated over the years. So of course it looks a little haggard, but like most old yard trucks, still fires up and does its job without complaint despite looking like Hell warmed over. The Hillard name on the side is a nod to Irv Hillard, who owned a legendary salvage yard which only recently closed after almost sixty years of business.
crazyjim Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Pretty cool build, Chuck. No pun intended.
slusher Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Cool and real nice build Chuck. Where did you get the wrecker boom and parts? I really like this build.
mikemodeler Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Nice job Chuck, glad to see some of your creations.
LouO Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Very Nice! The closer I look the more detail I find! Impressive build!
Renegade Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Awesome weathering job. A great all around build.
Chuck Most Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 Thanks guys. The wrecker boom itself is made out of Plastruct strip- the winch and strap came from the Revell GMC wrecker.
Sixties Sam Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Great build! It looks like it had a long tough life! Great weathering and detail! Sam

426-Hemi Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Like all has said so far, NICE WORK! The underside, is it 4x4? LOOKS GREAT even if not!
