This model is really a remix of a remix that I did and a model I did:

A sweet tow truck to add to your collection.  almost identical to my other towtruck, this one simply has a different Chassis and a different cab.  Procedure is fairly simple, almost the same as my other models.  With this one I gave the option to print the deck separately.  I prefer to paint over white plastic, but I wanted a black deck, so I printed the Deck and Cab separately. Otherwise, same procedure as my other models.  I printed the cab, painted it, used silver Sharpie for all my chrome details, and used straightened paperclips for the axles.  I use superglue to hold it all together.

I used rafts for all of the parts, but that was mostly just because my printer isn't the most reliable, and I didn't have time to supervise the first layer.

Material: PLA

Rafts: Yes on the Boom, otherwise optional

Supports: Yes on the Deck and the Boom

Nozzle: 0.3mm (Doesn't Matter)

 

(Yes, this is the original Mater from the movie cars.  The inspiration for Mater was a 1957 Chevy Tow Truck)

Edit.001 

I received feedback that the cab didn't print properly, skipping several layers in the middle of the cab.  I have done what I could, and I worked it down so that there is only one layer missing, about 4.5mm from the bottom.  With my slicer settings its Layer 23 that's missing.  I can't figure out how to fix that error, so this is as far as I'm going to work on it.  If anybody can fix it, please feel free to post a remix and let me know! Thanks, happy printing!

Edit.002

@jaguar_2769041 fixed this model for me, I am please to say that the slicer results are beautiful.  Thanks so much Jaguar, your remix is now the model of the cab:
