I would like to add a Cooters tow truck to my Dukes of Hazzard models. It could be a new kit, built, or missing parts. Or if I could find a set of duallie wheels out of a Monogram F350 duallie kit I could use them on one of my old Chevy pick up kits, along with a wrecker bed and set of decals. I have stuff to trade or I could pay cash. Please let me know. Thanks!

Hey Alan. So from my understanding he had a different truck every season. Which one are you looking for?

I plan to loosly base my build on that truck I'll post some pic's of it as I'm going there tomorrow |

Jesse,
What year of GMC/Chevy is that? Difficult to say as I can't see the grille! BUT, it looks DAMN close to the one Cooter had in the beginning of the show!
I know it was as tho "the boys" were ALWAYS wrecking the thing for ole Cooter to get out of a fix, they got themselves in! When he was good enough to lend it to them for a legit reason!

Yeah, I wasn't sure who made it, I remember seeing them NOT new tho, I had a grille one time to fit that truck! Sadly, was THEE only part of the truck, I had! BUT I wasn't sure, if that was the only GMC that was made for that time frame or era..... Sadly, GMC wasn't one of those on my to hunt out and buy lists........  |

Jesse, Are you offering that truck for possible trade or purchase? Id be interested in it as well as possibly getting the duallie wheels from you. I took a picture of the truck in front of Cooters in Nashville this morning. The one there is a Chevy, but I seem to remember Cooter having GMC during the 1st season. Id have to drag out my season 1 DVD set to be sure. Anyway, the Midnite Cowboy wrecker I already have has the same wrecker parts as the truck I photographed this morning. I think the Midnite Cowboy was based on a general motors truck (either a Chevy or GMC) so Im thinking I could build it basiclly stock just swap out the cab and fenders, add a heavy duty push bar and put the correct set of duallie rims and tires on it. Then either find a set of original decals or have firebird designs make me a set.

That's pretty cool Alan! That looks like a '69 Chevy truck. They were pretty much the same up till '72, only changes were grills. Here's the dually wheels from the monogram f250 that I have.  IMG_20141207_215821 by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr I can't believe they are still on the tree, the rest of that kit is a nasty looking glue bomb lol. |

Post by jbailey on Dec 8, 2014 6:12:45 GMT -7

If your still looking there are some 70's gmc tow trucks on ebay.co.uk ,there's no search option for 1/25 on uk ebay but they are there. try searching 1/24 in the side bar and do a seperate search for model kit 1/25 to find them. they look close to your photo
