Mike,
If you are going to modify the three axle(just count the rear axles) tow truck to a semi tractor, please consider keeping the rear axles in place. Shorten the wheel base a tad and you'll have a great tractor for hauling over dimension loads.

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.
Ah, that makes sense, I bet that'd look good on your layout Lee. And I definitely like this idea. What would you do to shorten it? I mean, put it back together after you cut it?
Thanks,
Mike
