Talking King Hauler tow truck.
I decided I liked the Pete tow truck I built so I decided to build another one. This one will be a little bigger. The truck is 2in longer and the boom is 6in longer. I made the sides a little shorter this time. For the rear suspension I am using Russisloud's air ride again. The air ride works a lot better than the stock suspension for a tow truck. The adjustability and getting rid of the pivot point allows you to keep weight on the front axle, keeping it on the ground.

You should put duel winches with pivoting heads at the boom end. I think that would be a good addition to this one! then you could just put hook bars (one on each side) on the rear of the truck to keep the winch line tight..

Man this is looking great. Unlike Dairyland Trucker I may actually need to come over,lol. That way maybe I could get motivated enough to start building again. Instead of looking at multiple unfinished projects.... Keep the updates coming, I'm really liking these builds, and they def cause my ambition and motivation to go up seeing them.

I have some members coming over this weekend to hang out and work on a couple of things. Come on over it just takes some self control and if you don't have any of that Pay Pal will work.

Travis, this thing is looking great! Practice makes perfect, not that you need practice. Did I miss the build thread on the Globe daycab on tracks?

Well Izzy came down for a visit this weekend and we did some work on the tow truck, well mostly Izzy on the rear boom section since he wanted something to. Here are some pics.







Here are some special pics for Aaron. Notice how clean the inside of the cab is.









Here is a link to a video. Click here.

Thanks for looking.
Travis
