Somewhere I still have the Matchbox versions of both of those trucks. Back in the early '90s our local Bandag store (long gone) had a show and both of those trucks showed up. Somewhere I have pics I took of them and the other trucks there.

A couple more pics of it before it was painted at a wrecker show in Orlando, FL....

Well,it sure is an ultimate recovery vehicle as well as the baddest dang Crackerbox I ever saw. Talk about a custom truck!! I figured it had to have a Detroit. Just wondered if maybe a big ole 12 Cylinder made it in there. I hope to end up with some sort of unique old large truck. To have that one would be a dream.

I had,or maybe still do,one of those Bandag racers...black I think. Yeah,this thread is about "truck love". I love my little old shortbeds and rompin' 4wds,but the full realm of trucks is awesome to me.
