On the tow truck,MPC's '69 Fleetside kit comes with the same bed as a wrecker but has a fire truck version instead. Those wrecker booms are lame anyway,so you could build that. Especially with the Wreckmaster design I'd think you could mimmick the trussed tube booms fairly easily. There is a later square body snap-fit kit that comes with a realistic tow body/boom as well as real C/30 dual wheels.
First kit is the MPC '69 (upper left),then the AMT GMC SWB Fenderside (lower left),the second release of the same GMC SWB (lower right),and a built snap-fit wrecker. Resin casters make paintable Budd wheels if you don't like the fancy ones. I think I'd build the tow body for yours from plastic stock.

Anybody know if the motorcycle came with the stepside? I have the model that I bought awhile ago already built but no motorcycle??
