This model is an M6 Bomb Service Truck as it appeared
on the West Side Lumber Co. of Tuolumne City, CA during the 1950s.
It was used to service log trucks and CATs in the woods. The model
was built from the Roco GMC CCKW. The frame was cut down to the appropriate
length. The crane came from the Roco Bomb Service Truck. The tool boxes,
rear fenders and rear platform are scratchbuilt. The winch is a modified
SS Ltd casting. The motor was made from homemade castings. An extraordinary
model!
