IMHO, this is one of the best JL castings...
It would be great if we saw tow trucks from various manufacturers too!

Here's my entire Ford Tow truck collection...
notice the JLPD on the generic Canadian Classic cars card

Very cool collection of tow trucks HarryLee. That Clark version has eluded me for years. I wish RC2/JL would make a Chevy/GMC tow truck version one day. thumbsup.gif

Funny, the Clarks version was the only one I had for a long time, until I traded it to some car nut!

Hi Harry Lee,

I like this casting too, and you'll find it next May in Trucks & SUVs 7. Look for it in orange and black (very basic, road-crew style) with "Turnpike Assistance" on the doors.

Thanks for the heads up Mac, that is a great casting. And thank you for hanging out with us. Like someone said in another thread, JL is still in good hands.

HL, this is definitely one of my all time favourite JL castings.
Thanks for bringing up the subject.
I just had to revisit this one.

I will try to post a picture or two in the next few days.
And thanks Mac for letting us know about the latest one coming out very soon.
The waiting is going to be the hardest part.

Cheers. Cobra

That's the one thing that's always hard to find here....tow trucks. I'd love to get a couple. I'll just have to keep looking.

Nice collection you have there.
