    WoW -- That's the good stuff right there, Brian. Great work -- love the paint job and the finish.

    What is the story behind the 4-door cab? Would that be like from a fire and rescue vehicle, so you could carry crew members or passengers? I could definitely see how it would be useful in a recovery vehicle like this one; I just don't think I've ever seen one before.

    Congrats,

    Thanks, Johnny! I first saw the powerliner crew cab on an old forum. It had Eaton livery and was hooked to a flatbed and looked pretty cool. The truck looked as though it was used to haul test transmissions to and from the manufacturing plant. I liked the look of the cab and thought it would look good on the wrecker chassis. It could definitely be used on some rescue applications too. 


  2. Finally finishing the wrecker. The build took longer than expected but I think it came out well. I used the Revell of Germany Stepps Peterbilt wrecker as the major components for the build. 3D  printed items include the POWERLINER cab ( designed by 3dmodlermon on CG Trader), additional storage box, rear wheels and tires, and air horns. Decals came from the reissue AMT reefer trailer and various other kits. The color is rose gold over black automotive black primer. The interior is caramel with black seats. The interior was made from 2 AMT Freightliner kits. The upholstery was made from the seal of a coffee can.
