Hi guys, I'm 14 and gonna atempt my first conversion soon. I would like to convert a Ural 4320 into a aircraft tow truck. I was just wondering if anyone could provide some ref pics as I can't seem to find any (apart from 1 http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=Ural+4320+aircraft&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&rlz=1R2RNWE_enGB414&biw=1024&bih=511&tbm=isch&tbnid=OmQ7Lvq2mrxgQM:&imgrefurl=http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php%3F92680-new-russian-army-trucks/page27&docid=C9bJ6JAca_g42M&imgurl=http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/4366/autowphdz6.jpg&w=800&h=600&ei=Av9YT9fJBOGU0QWc3PXnDQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=188&sig=117000465209420467315&page=1&tbnh=154&tbnw=220&start=0&ndsp=8&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0&tx=37&ty=66)
Any advice, knowledge or pics would be appreciated.

I guess it's just another starter truck. These trucks carry generators to start aircraft engines if necessary and provide power to run aircraft equipments and systems when the engines are shut down.
