All that TV expense and now another TV
As in Toy Vehicle. Today I found this wood truck on craigslist and just had to have it.
I think the grandboys will enjoy it.

As moderator you KNOW the rules, you need pics.
Does it raise and lower, or is it fixed?

It looks unique to me but I'm no expert on these things. The guy I purchased it from was like me, he saw it and liked it, then afterwards decided it was too cute to gift to his kids - afraid they'd ruin it.
I think for $10 I'll chance it. In this case Elmers can fix what duct tape can't.

For 10 bucks I think you got a great deal. You can buy plans for all kinds of wooden cars, trucks, tractors, etc., but the plans alone cost $20-$30.00. There are also free plan downloads but they are not as detailed as your rig.

A photo will be forthcoming. It is a wood model in the down position. Hilo used to give them out. My dealer friend gave it to our son.

I remember you could buy them off the Hi-Lo website for about $50. There was one on ebay not too long ago.

I bet my toy vehicle could tow that without a WD hitch.

Of course it could, if it's a Ford.

Ah ohhhh, busted.
My bride came home with this wrecker yesterday, complete with flashing lights and various noise makers. It was donated as the mans son (and now grandkids) are too old for it.

Need to be careful where you park that rig . I bet if you keep parking it on that table it will get towed every time!
