Picked this up on sale at Mills Fleet Farm. They get a huge selection of farm toys for the holidays, and these have tempted me for a couple years. You can also find them online, though they tend to be a bit pricey. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_ ... ames%2C156

It's listed as 1:16, but honestly I think it fits perfectly with Joes. Sorry the pics are less than great, I don't have a photo setup big enough for this thing. I will have to remove the drivers side armrest though, it took some real work to get a figure in there around it.

Plastic. Tractor body is metal, but except the axles and fasteners, the truck is all plastic.

Well, I can't wait to see that. All the various versions of this use the same base, so you could get the cement mixer or dumptruck versions and have the exact same cab and save some money. The flatbed version is more expensive because it includes the tractor.

Actually tractor is plastic too. Not sure why I thought it was metal.

Useable bed area is 6"x14", so probably. My MOBATs are in storage so I can't say with 100% certainty though.

OK almost popped on one of these things but they all say it is 7 inches wide. That can not be right can it. It looks perfect in your pics but 7 inches wide would scale out to 10.5 feet in real life which would be nearly 2 feet too wide.

Yeah, cab is the same on all. And the flatbed is 6in wide, the cab is a bit over 4 1/4 wide, and 8in from the bumper to the back of the cab. It's definitely oversized a bit, but I don't think it'll be bad. Especially with ME figures.
