Sometimes 4 wheelers get stuck and need to be towed home or to the shop for repairs!

Here is my Dodge tow truck. It was built by combining the AMT Dodge dually and the modified body from the Revell Midnight Cowboy tow truck. I stretched the body to fit the chassis of the Dodge. I added a fire ext., gas can, chain and I cut out the center console and I placed it in the down position to show a note pad and a cell phone. I applied various decals and I added a spotlight. I scratchbuilt the bumper and grill guard. I also scratchbuilt the running boards.

Hi Mark!! witch frame do you took?

I ask because I will do some wrecker soon and doesn't found the good frame to do them other than doing some scratchbuilt. during the year of this RAM the frame was not enough strong to do a towing truck. even the 2500 and the 3500. the only one I see in reality was a 1994 body with a chevy 3500 frame.

but anyway nice built....

The only I did to the chassis was add a piece of aluminum tubing for the exhaust. I kept it simple!

I love the functions. The Tow Truck Dublin has some fantastic playability and clever design. Keep it up..Great work.

mikemodeler: Yeah, they could clean up with that kit! They would do it right and probably have several versions, including a Suburban! Mar 9, 2015 21:02:10 GMT -5

casey: I'm sure they have enough future ideas to choose from already, though. THey have, what, five kits coming out this year? Mar 9, 2015 21:04:26 GMT -5

grumpy: surprised round 2 doesn't reissue the dodge adventurer warlock or fire fighter dodge stepside the would for sure clean up with those May 17, 2016 16:04:11 GMT -5
