1966 Ford F-350 WRECKER

Checker plate looks very nice, I assume you pressed thin aluminum on a pattern? If so, on what did you press it to get the pattern?

Thank you. I pressed it on a plastic plate with little diamond profile (it is a plate that architects use for their models)

Here are the next steps

I mounted some eyelets for lashing at the truck bed and new working light at the crane

Now the driver isn?t naked anymore

Some self created decals

My real stamped licence plate :lol:

And some self made reflectors (german: Katzenaugen)

Stay tuned :lol:

The new grille

















Also painted with brown anti rust color





Outside shots





Stay tuned :lol:

Some last details

Filler pipe



Hand made wipers









Interior rearview mirror



Radiator with hose and pipe clamps



Unfortunately an invisible detail ...



Windshield / sunshade panels (is it called so in engl.)









And the obligatory fuzzy dices



Stay tuned :lol:

Those wipers are insane!

I have to say this build is just awesome. My hats off to your attention to detail and patience. I love it so much in fact it has inspired me to start my own tow truck build.

Thanks guys

It had a lot of fun building this tow truck and it is an honor for me, if you use it as template

Here are the last details

Something to read for the driver during the break



The pimped tool box (originally Playmobil)







My self made hi-lift jack (unfortunately still unpainted...) - completly height adjustable





A trailer hitch



My self made snatch block





Some pics in a nice location







Stay tuned :lol:

 

[madsven]

Some new hooks

Such a fantastic truck. Very well done.

Beautiful truck..

im im jealous that you can play at the glas house

 

[dagabba]

Yup, really stunning!

 

[UNGLEWD]

A really great build, I love RC utility trucks!

 

[1BadJeepBruiser]

looks awesome, great pics

 

[madsven]

Thanks a lot

Unfortunately my winch is not strong enough to hold heavier "cargo", so I need to solve this problem.

Something like a backstop in the winch would be great, but that I can?t build it myself...

Here is my manual solution

And here I have attached them

Some shackles and chains later







I think it works just like the big tow trucks

Such an awesome build! I wanna build a 4x4 wrecker myself. Great job on all the detail, love it! Subbed to your thread
