I have settled on axles, wheels, and tires. RC4WD K44's, White Landies, and Mil Spec Tires (1.55) respectively. The width is almost spot on. It's going to look VERY good. IMHO

After seeing your build I kinda wish I went with the larger Tonka. Those axel's wheel's and tires fit perfect. The Ideas are endless with this thing. Servo for the boom. Full lights. I don't know if Tonka is still an American company ,But they would prob flip when they saw your truck.

All in time... Servo winches in the booms, full lights, including the siren. It's going to be a blast.

I want to say it was around $80. Give or take a bit. It was in pristine condition. I found it at a local antique shop.
