wow so there is an actual truck! ha! Stepp has more of them in his fleet. This one is without a sleeper so, it´s not the CAN DO. I wonder if the actual CAN DO is still in service. It has been a while now since the model came into being. |

It has been a while now since the model came into being. that would be neat if it was! is there any contact info for the guys to see if they still have the CAN DO still in service and or up and running as a back up or something??? |

Try here: steppstowing.com/ I know the real "Can-Do" wrecker was a Peterbilt 379, but I don't know the year. I thilk I remember someone telling me it had a 3406E in it. |

From my understanding, the truck the kit was modeled from is still in front line service. It has since been retrofitted with a new Detroit powerplant from what I was told as well as having the wrecker body refurbished. Sure would like to see that rig in person someday...

Though I am not sure i fit is "E" , I´d say "A" or "B" but I am not that much of an expert. Check these pics. I believe they are dated back in the time when the model was issued. www.truckin24.de/03c1989d840f69e01/03c1989db61408c0d.htmlCheck the whole site, there´s more reference pics of some other Revell of Germany models.
