Title: Old tow truck
Post by: Ray Dunakin on June 18, 2013, 09:38:11 PM

Recently I took a trip out to the high desert near Jacumba, CA to get some more rocks for my layout. While I was there, I noticed an interesting old tow truck displayed in front of a junk yard. I don't know anything about the make or model, but it looks like it might have started out as a WWII military vehicle:

I have pics from all angles, plus detail shots, on my website:

Looks a lot like Russ' "Babe Mobile".

Thanks! BTW, if anyone decides to model it and wants high resolution images, just let me know. Also, if additional photos would be helpful I can shoot some next time I'm out there.
