DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 14, 2018 This began with a resin cab. I believe it to be from back yard shed. The engine is an old Clint Freeman 6-71. The bed is a modified Big Stick from the AMT Peterbilt wrecker. Frame rails are fro Gary Wallace.

41CHEVY Posted June 15, 2018 The stretch on the wrecker body is interesting, I may copy your idea down the line. I always liked the idea of COE wreckers they just have that certain tough look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 30, 2018 Thanks Guys! I've got the boom done. It is not only longer than the AMT boom, but it's larger in diameter as well. I also made a larger multi-groove pulley for the rear. IMG_9596 by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_9595 by Brian Smith, on Flickr 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
