BASIC DESCRIPTION

This is a partially made-up vehicle, because I don't know if there is a model exactly like this. Basically, it's a Ford F-350 with a flatbed for hauling vehicles. It's not supposed to be a tow truck, so don't call it that ;-)

FOOTNOTES

- Obviously there is nothing "holding" the car to the bed, like chains or wheel chocks, that is for several reasons. Chains would look odd just "hanging" in the air when the car breaks off the bed, and also there is nothing modeled on the underside of the car so the chains would be hooked to nothing.

- When the car breaks off the bed, it ends up half-submerged in the ground. Breakables apparently have no bounding and it seems there is nothing I can do about this. When the car is ON the bed, it is not bounded because I wanted the bed to be able to carry things once the car breaks off. Fun for multiplayer!
