Good truck but yeah at that price is ridiculous, they are sometimes on for cheaper.
This one is similar;

US or German? (wish I could add British grr)
Just get an M3 or Hanomag halftrack, much cheaper! I dont get how people can afford those highway 61 trucks!

Check out this thread: http://www.rctankwarfare.co.uk/forums/v ... =85&t=6503" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; near enough the same conversion, not that hard either.
And this too: http://www.rctankwarfare.co.uk/forums/v ... =85&t=6489" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; that Perrier truck was luckily about £20, you can get them here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CHEVROLET-GMC-194 ... 230ba6ac90" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; postage about £10 maybe? Or this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Solido-Chevrolet- ... 2eb148048c" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The Germans used pretty much any truck they could so those would be ok to use.

Nice Dak stuff :clap: yeah IJ trucks are ok, I recently altered one to be more like the Mercedes Truck they were supposed to be. Just cut the height of roof down a bit, removed that horrible line across the windscreen (makes it look like an old guy with glasses on nose) and put the grill back where it should be. Il try to put some pics up on here soon.
Anyway good luck with the hunt :thumbup:
