Bought the recently re-released GMC Wrecker kit and am planning on building it up as a flatbed with fifth wheel hitch to haul a Galaxie tri-axle trailer. Here's where I'm at so far.
Unfortunately, upon opening the kit I found that the parts tree with the wheels and grille was non-existent. Of course, I then decided to custom build my own grille for it (the headlights are installed but taped off for painting), and I also grabbed a set of 1/32 Ford Aeromax Semi Truck wheels that just happened to fit in the kit tires, and give it the look of a 10-lug hub conversion.
As for drivetrain, I as most others cut out the molded in engine and exhaust sections and am planning on using a 368 cubic inch NASCAR spec GM V8 along with 4-speed manual. Should have plenty of power for the long haul. :lol:
