I was wondering if anyone has seen preferably a 1:24 scale tow truck model either a flatbed or wheel-lift (pick-up with wrecker bed) anywhere. I have seen a few of the Semi wreckers but no others...

you will have to buy a normal pickup truck, any year you like, and scratchbuild a tow truck rear end, or a flatbed rear end.
i have an issue of scale auto with a write up on how to do that somewhere

If scratchbuilding ain't your thang try this site:

http://www.scalerealism.com/

You want tow truck kits/transkits/parts? Most require the builder to supply his own kit but there's tons of stuff. This is some of what Scale Realism offers:

-ONE TON DUMP BODY
-TANDEM TILT DECK
-LOW-PRO WRECKER
-UTILITY BODY
-AUTOLOADER
-TOWING UNIT
-TILT DECK
-EXTENDED DECK
-PRO HAULER
-WRECKER PUSH BUMPER
-CONTRACTOR TOOL BOX
-ONE TON TIRES/WHEELS

....and on, and on.....

Nice stuff.
