Sweet rig.Waht are the plans?

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

I love those things.

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

those things are huge, I was just looking at one like this at the local salvage yard this morning, his was about 15 feet shorter though.
he also has a chevy with tandem rears that is about the size of yours.

Man that's a cool heavy duty truck. Are you going to bag it, and lay frame. :haha:
Lets see a photo shop of it.

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

1) wash it

2) paint the bed black, maybe paint the cab. I kinda like the patina as is.

3) tow whatever I want with it.:metal::lol::metal:

I'm a self employed mobile mechanic, i also buy, fix, and sell cars. Basically I don't want to beat up my grandpas super nice 1979 f250 anymore and I'm tired of my tow dolly. So I bought this to make into a mobile work shop/hauler. Imagine all the tools you could need. onboard air, welder, and whatever else I can think of.

The truck has a gvw of 20,000 pounds, hydraulic brakes, and 2-speed rear. I paid $241.00 dollars for it. I think I got a deal.

You could fit a mini-machine shop behind the cab and still haul a pick-up on it. How long is that bed?

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

Exactly 25ft 8 inches. I've got a 1979 supercab long bed ford 3/4 ton. I wanted to be able to fit that on this. It's about 22ft.

A deal? You stole that thing buddy, nice score!

Re: look at my new tow hauler!

the thought had crossed my mind. funny I'm showing off on the Hamb too.

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

Am I the only one who can't see the pic?

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

Plenty of room! Nice steal!

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

mine or the other?

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

I see both....nice hamb

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

Yeah that'll haul what you need.

Has the frame been streatched, or is it original? I assume it has a V6, do you know which one yet?

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

I haven't found any evidence of the frame being stretched...yet. It is a v6...I haven't found any info on identifying the engine, so I am unsure of what is its. I've seen a 305 v6 before from what i remember and it was smaller than this engine. I was also told that the 351 was externally the same as the 305 which leads me to believe its something bigger. the guy I bought it from said it was a "468 or around there" But i can't verify that or anything. I haven't found much info other than the stovebolt.com forum.

www.6066gmcguy.org/ for ALL the gmc info...
he would love that you are still using this as a truck...

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

You have so much room, you can bring the car your working on right onto the truck. Install a mid rise lift, and you can do brakes & oil changes.
You stole it. Great deal. :thumbs:

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

It was your's but I see it now
strange :uhmk:

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

Score! What is powering it currently? Any plans for the drive train?

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

I put a battery in it and cranked it over today. No power to the coil though.

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

it's a 305. Currently plans are get it running then see how it does.

Re: look at my new tow hauler!
 

Not to doubt your intelligence, but are you sure that is a 305? I think the big haulers like that normally came with the 351 or 401....It should be stamped in front of the pass side cylinder head.
