Re: MD/HD Wreckers

There's a friend of my mom's who has original 8mm movies and a ton of pictures from the old CT Dragway from back in the 70's and early 80's. We want to back them up and convert them to digital. Once I have them, I'll definitely share them.

No ramps, just drop, load, raise and go. Just sorting out the details, but I think everything will work. Need hinges on the boxes, more bracing on the deck, etc.
You know there is going to be more calls for pics/ build thread. Yes I am one of those requests.
Here is a little teaser.

I'd be particularly interested in that as well.

Keep us posted.

This one is for sale at Brandywine Autoparts. I came across it while looking for a bucket truck. Ad says they want 12k for it and it is a 77'

Re: MD/HD Wreckers

Thought I'd bump this thread with this gem I just found on CL

Re: MD/HD Wreckers

Nice Heavy Wrecker.

Like the Spoke Wheels.

The whole truck looks pretty solid.

Clean Engine. Bet it runs as good as it looks.

Re: MD/HD Wreckers

More than 1 1/2t that's for sure. Price seems high to me for what it is.

Re: MD/HD Wreckers

:metal:

I believe we had one a while back, but if you can't find it in a search, you could always just start a new one.
