It does have them, under the front bumper and the rear extension from the frame.

Definitely a high-railer...

Oh ya, I see them now.  Thanks Lou.

I'd say late 90's, looks like a 98 International 4700

More likely it's a 4900. Based on the type of service body, I seriously doubt they would have opted for the lower capacity 4700.

1989 to 2001 for the truck body, but what about the crane?  I can't explain why, but I want to model this car and load:

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

The cane is rather modern... bulkier than previous generations. I would guess that type of unit would not have gone into production until the 1990's. If you are looking for a smaller crane located behind the cab, check out some of the Tomytec trucks out there. Several have such a crane attachment.

I really want a bulk pack of this cab and chassis. These would be useful for everything from moving service trucks to landscapers and especially fire engines. Plop a Athearn KME pumper tank on top of the single axle crew cab and you have a pretty realistic commercial chassis pumper.

Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

Daniel, this is as simple as emailing Walter at Showcase.  He is a super-nice guy. The worst outcome is if he says "no" . But since Showcase is already selling a builder's pack of bare truck cab and chassis, they might do it.  Or maybe he'll work out one-of deals directly with you.

I ordered one of these trucks the day it became available. It arrived shortly after that. I'll start assembling it today. I plan on adding some chocks in the rear to hold an axle with a traction motor. This is the perfect platform for a BNSF wheel truck.
