'72 original wrecker with lights and all
 

Went to the scrap yard yesterday and saw an all original 1 ton wrecker, complete with bed, boom, big front bumper, lights and all, I have called to speak with the owner before he crushes it, what would be considered a fair price, I don't need it but want to try to save it, body looks straight

$100 above scrap price.

If you can get it, get it!

And show us the pics.

What he said.

Re: '72 original wrecker with lights and all
 

that is what I was going to offer him but really just making it aware for everyone in case someone may be interested, just hate to see it crushed

Re: '72 original wrecker with lights and all
 

Some are easier to get parts for than others.

Re: '72 original wrecker with lights and all
 

Is this in Texarkana? Let me know what he says if you don't pick it up, price wise. Also some pics if you can get them. Thanks. Jim

Re: '72 original wrecker with lights and all
 

yes, it is in Texarkana, I really don't want it, already have too many projects going, I can get pics, I left a message for him this morning but he will not be back until Monday, just trying to post it out to help someone interested

Nobody else did it so guess I will: :D

:wop:

Re: '72 original wrecker with lights and all
 

The yard owner should be willing to sell for any amount as much as or slightly more than scrap value,cuz scrap value is all he'll get otherwise. I just sold mine and I wish I didn't have to

Re: '72 original wrecker with lights and all
 

Anyone....please save it!!!!!

Wish I was closer..

Just remember, those wrecker boxes with the boom and winch are GOD aweful HEAVY!!! I'd love to know what a small wrecker weighs.

I had to pay a grand to get my wrecker from a junkyard here and it was in poor condition.

Makes sense to me though as he would have sold many parts off of it, then sold it for the scrap. Probably worked out about right value wise for him.

Re: '72 original wrecker with lights and all
 

oh no doubt it is heavy, I am going by this morning to talk to him and get some pics, he is supposed to be back in town today, it would be cool for someone who is interested for sure

Re: '72 original wrecker with lights and all
 

just got off the phone with him, the motor has been sold out of it and he said he would take $650 for the truck as it sits, will get pics

Re: '72 original wrecker with lights and all
 

Is this a scrap yard or a junkyard?

Re: '72 original wrecker with lights and all
 

scrap yard, I hauled off a bunch of junk metal and it was sitting over to the side, I am trying to save it from being crushed
