Need help with a gift build

[hook1169]

Hi gang,

I am working on a model for my uncle, or should I say, I will be when it gets here. He owns a towing and recovery company and one of his first trucks was an older Chev "hooker" like this one

I am trying to find after market parts, and have bee trying for about 3 days to find something on the the interwebz, but to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions on search terms or a site that they know of that would sell lightbars, shovels, gas cans, J-hook with chains, portable compressor/airtanks and other doodads? I also would like to hear recommendations for a company that could make custom decals for me as I want to personalize it as much as possible.

I really appreciate your help on this.

So as soon as I posted this I found http://www.scalemodelingbychris.com/ which is pretty cool, but if anyone has other ideas let me know please. Still looking for other stuff too, as well as a light bar for the roof.

Don't know if it's just my computer but the image isn't showing up. As far as where to get parts for it you could try ebay and also talk to Scott at Elm city hobbies to see if he can help you out. Here is the link to the site https://www.elmcityhobbies.com/shop/index.php

There's some stuff here: http://www.kitformservices.com/tq.html

But it's not cheap.

Lightbar should be able to be found on ebay. Lots of cop car kits have 'em.

Honestly, there isn't that much out there in aftermarket for cars and trucks, at least not something like that.

Short of different wheels, tires, light bar, just not much in that end of the modeling world. Not sure why, but I am sure there is a logical reason.
