Tamiya King Hauler Day Cab Wrecker
This is a start to my wrecker build. Got the body cut down and some electrics relocated. Fifth wheel is removed.
I originally planned this for the Cab over Mercedes but that is not gonna happen. I still havent figured out the MFU. It's still acting up. So onto the King Hauler it goes.     Thanks for looking. I will have a few pictures of some of the hardware I plan to use.

Re: Tamiya King Hauler Day Cab Wrecker
Been trying to get idea of where I'm going to want my boom so I have enough clearence for the wheel lift. So I did a quick mock-up. I think I need to get the boom permenantly mounted to get the correct measurements. This is definately more work and thinking then I originally thought. It may be more then I'm capable of doing. I'll have to get to work on it this winter and keep my mind on it. A few pictures of where I'm at.
    Thanks for Looking!

Re: Tamiya King Hauler Day Cab Wrecker
Thanks Rod. And Thanks for the info, it was very helpfull. I still got a bit of sanding to do. And still thinking of finish Color. I'm thinking a two tone again.
Some more pictures. I laid out kinda what I had in mind for a wheel lift. The boom and lift will be one structure as a solid piece andI won't have it extend. I'll use that part and make the boom raise and lower.I got get ready for races Saturday and I work tonite. So I prolly won't have any progress til next week sometime.    The wheel lift will be solid except for the axle lift that will swivel and will allow the vehicles to turn. . . . . . . I hope!   Thanks For Looking.

Re: Tamiya King Hauler Day Cab Wrecker
And there is light. I will have the back lights molded into the recker body when I get it mounted. I just ran the wires so they will be there when I need them.
 Sorry for the poor quality. It was my Cell phone. I'll get a better one this evening on the camera.

Re: Tamiya King Hauler Day Cab Wrecker
Had a few days off from work so I decided to get the Boom's raise and lower system mounted in. Also got the subframe in at the same time. Had another thought on the wheel lift. I saw a build online where a guy cut out a piece to fit in the rear most pumpkin. So I'm not set on the wheel lift yet. I like the lift onto the pumpkin idea so I may go with that. I can change it at any time.
I'm not sure how this will turn out. It's not as easy as I thought it would be. But I'm gonna go with it till I run out of ideas.         Thanks for looking!!
