Looking for help from the pros here! Maintainer truck?

[Utility]

I am looking to find a way to recreate a maintainer truck. Looking for a body that is pre made or a RTR truck. I have looked all over the internet and have come up empty handed. I figured you all would know the options out there. Any guidance would be helpful. I am including a link to the picture of the vehicle I am trying to find. Thanks all.

Start out by checking with the local farm equipment dealers in your area. Most dealers have a toy section where they might have a truck that can be converted. I have never seen one with this style of body, it will probably have to be scratch built. You will also have to convert it to RC as you’ve found they just don’t exist.

How about one of these Rams to build it from?

Since that is an ERTL model, I wonder if it'd be like their 1:16 big rigs? I know their semi trucks are considerably smaller then the Bruder & Tamiya trucks are.

Yeah found this link. Has the same truck frizz posted and a couple of standard dodges if you need for converting

These are a little small, about 4" wide, so around 1/24-1/25 scale.
