Chuck Most Posted November 18, 2014 Share 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.

Chuck Most Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
