Ive been trying to get one of the original Sword Mechanics Truck at a good price for awhile, but alas it is not so easy. So I decided to mix some models to get a nice service truck representation.
I bought the JerrDan and used a Norscot I already had. I had to shorten the frame to fit the bed. I added the diamond plate, welder and extinguisher. I added the hook to the crane as well, and got some decals to put on. Overall I like the way it turned out.

Nice work on the custom, truck looks good! I feel your pain with having to overpay for the Sword Peterbilt and First Gear International service trucks. Wish Sword and First Gear would reissue them.

Yes, held on by one screw.
