AllanSmith Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Today I destroyed my orange Rat Rod and Four Wheel Drive to add another pickup to my collection. It ended up as a wellside pickup. Same chassis and size as the other pickups Performance pickup with blower intake. Tow Truck alternative Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 The pimped up truck - CUTE so to speak, but the tow truck - EXCELLENT ! Good one 'AllanSmith', in a way your tow truck looks a little better than the 7638 one. I'm a conformist! !!! Quote
Legostein Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Hello! The tow truck version is my favourite. The colour is perfect for such a vehicle, and the cargo area is optimal for the crane. For use as normal pick-up truck it's not really suitable I think. The cargo compartment is much too small. You can't pick up much. Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
sens1992 Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Wow, once again, these are two great trucks! I like them both but I have a preference for the tow truck. I really like the "square" front bumper. You really have a thing for pick up trucks! Thats a good thing. Edited January 16, 2010 by sens1992 Quote
AllanSmith Posted January 16, 2010 Author Posted January 16, 2010 I agree with you all that the tow truck is the best. I have completed a small rebuild on it. Internal strengthening to stop flex. New roof lights. White side stripe to make the white headlight bricks merge in better Front view Side view Rear view Towing home that unreliable classic pickup ! Quote
PUCI Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Nice Truck, I really like the way you have built a gap between the end wheel and the main body, that must take some effot............ Quote
Legoliner Pilot Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Love that souped-up () tow truck! Much better than the official design. The best thing I think is how smooth yet streamlined it is! Excellent! Quote
Legostein Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Hello again, the white stripes are a good modification, however I liked the former roof lights better. Many modern cars of this sort have one single centered light-bar on the roof. Hence I preferred the first alternative of them. But I guess both versions exist in plenty numbers in reality. Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
dr_spock Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Looks good as a tow truck. You sure like pickup trucks. Quote
Loganwan Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Those are really nice trucks. Each are really nicely built, all with their own unique look. The tow truck is nice. I like the white stripe. If it were moved down a little, you might be able to extend it the length of the truck and really pull in the back of the truck with the front. Great build. Can't wait to see more. Quote

Changed front direction indicators to match rear ones so I could use cheese slopes on light bar Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 It must be the New Zealand air or something, but you do AWESOME MOCs indeed. The new light bar and white pin striping are excellent ! Totally I'm a conformist! 'AllanSmith' ! Quote
curtisrlee Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Wow, this ROCKS! I would definately buy it if it was a REAL set! Quote
prateek Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Awesome job! I really love the tow truck variation. It looks so cool Quote
JayDuck Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Nice job. I think the hood area is perhaps a bit long, but overall it looks good. And for what it's worth, over here in the States we call that kind of pickup bed a "stepside". Quote

Totally I'm a conformist! 'AllanSmith' ! To lightningtiger: I must have breathed in some Aussie air cause I've just finished a Mad Max Interceptor. Photos to come Quote
