looking for breakdown lorry crane details

[bootneck]

I am contemplating building a 1950s/1960s civilian, or postwar ex-WD, breakdown lorry and need to find dimensions for the crane unit.  There appears to be two types of crane, a 1.5 ton (30 cwt) and a 3 ton.

 

The 1.5 ton looks like this  - I believe this is the one on the Emhar OSB recovery truck.

 

 

The 3 ton looks like this.

 

Can anyone here help with finding the dimensions for these, so that I can scratchbuild them?   I would get the Emhar kit but cannot afford forty-odd quid just for the crane part.

 

cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike, will this help? 

 

 

Measurements are in mm, scale 1/24. I can take more pics, measurements as needed, no problem.

Hello Jeroen,

 

that is just the sort of thing I am looking for, thank you very much.  I note that the sides are already on your model, therefore preventing a profile shot, but would it be possible to take photos directly from above and behind please.  With those details I can now start sketching out a plan.

 

Thank you again,

Mike

Hi Mike, I also scrounged up some pics of the Blitzbuild I "blitzed" the Bedford for. 

 

 

 

 

Here's some new ones. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just let me know if you need anything else!

Those images are just what I need!  I plan to draw up the sections in order to 3D print the crane unit.

 

I have done a very quick sketch of the profile in Inkscape. 

 

Those extra images should give me enough detail to draw it all up in Fusion 360 for a 3D print.

 

Very many thanks!

 

Mike
