Probably a kitbash of existing sprues,
still cool though
Doubled front tires was also tested by 2.5 ton trucks in military service

I would agree and also cool.
With manual steering - you’d have to be The Hulk to crank that steering wheel standing still. I remember what a workout it was parking a Deuce.
That’s why cars and trucks had much larger steering wheels back then.
My dads Mercedes from 1965 was quite a handful to “steer” when it wasn’t moving even though
it only weighed 1.2 - 1.3 tons
Looks out of box, two of the four options are for the dual front.
Good combo of existing kits by MA. I remember my first few cars, without power steering, and what a beast they were to drive! Adding dual wheels up front would make it a real challenge even while moving…
If so, cranking the crane hand winch should be no sweat…
Talking about The Hulk, here’s one on steroids

The other side from The Modelling News: Preview: The civilian version of the 35th scale U.S. Tow Truck G506 from MiniArt
Cool kit. I like the fuel tank on the Hulk truck above.
'Merica
You can see the CAD, decals, PE, etc. here:
And modelled using Tamiya’s excellent 1/48 kit:
Edit: Two kits actually - the Deuce and the fuel tanka.
I was inspired by this photo:
Oddly, Squadron left this feature off on their cover art.
I kitbash.
They kitbash.
I want one for sure. I love that Miniart is doing military trucks repurposed as civilian vehicles. I would love it even more if it were 1/25th scale, but I will gladly take 1/35th.
