Thats a great idea too!

What would you use as the "receiver" on the tractor?

Mike

Wasn't clear - I will modify it to a Superstreets tractor with a dual (power driven) rear axle. The cab is particularly good for fitting 'Streets beceause of its size and weight. But as a model the wrecker with its trhree axles would be great slightly shortened, with a really long multi-axle overwieght chassis or even a Schnabel trailer - you're right.
