1950s dark red tow truck for my town layout - real world 75972 MOD

[Murdoch17]

I finally took pictures of this MOD of Overwatch set 75972 I've been working on basically since the set released in 2019. It's been turned into a 6-studs wide 1950's-style tow truck, and seats one figure at the wheel.

The front of the truck.

The rear of the truck.

The cab roof is removable to seat the driver behind the wheel.

NOTE: The vehicle might get changed to black later on because a printed grille (the same part type I'm already using here) in CITY 4+ set 60435 is coming out, and I always wanted the grille on my tow truck to be more pronounced.

Only time will tell if this truck gets color swapped or not...

Thoughts?

That's great. I like the dark red colour and especially the hood/front part.

Thanks @The Reader! I'm still torn if I'm keeping it dark red or changing to black and use the part from this upcoming set for the hood:

Good mod to the overwatch set. I did something similar to mine to make it a farm pickup truck.

As for the upcoming part, I'd leave yours alone. If you want to use the piece, build a new cab entirely from black (with flames on the sides)

Thanks @Feuer Zug, and I think you're right... I'll keep this one dark red.
