Except for the wrecker part that was added after purchace.

Walts_restoration · 07-13-2007, 10:43 PM

haha, good point. also someone at one time swapped in a passenger car 283, forgot those parts haha

**special-K** · 07-13-2007, 11:21 PM

O I C,I thought you meant it was a wrecker that a dealership had.I need to grt down to where I buy my parts and get a picture of their wrecker.They are hanging on to it.It`s a`66-ish C30 Stepside wrecker with dealer name on the doors.

OlChev67,nice photoshop job.I thought you went out and built a wrecker overnoght.If I send pictures of my wife,do you think you could do some magic with her?

Walts_restoration · 07-13-2007, 11:29 PM

It is a dealer wrecker, it got sold to the paper company somewhere down the line. Says the name of the dealer on the side.

Walts_restoration · 07-13-2007, 11:32 PM

talk about patina haha

OlChev67 · 07-14-2007, 01:39 AM

one sweet patina paint job

stsalvage · 07-14-2007, 02:21 AM

Man i like the 1967--1972 Car wrecker the ones that had the flat bed with the winch and had the rollers on the end of the truck its the one that they put the steel 15 foot car hualer on where the car sits on the frame i know where one is and man love to have it my own old tow truck make lots of money not to fond of the sling tow truck drove them back in Oklahoma

**special-K** · 07-14-2007, 05:56 AM

You mean like this?They`re more than 15',though:

Alot were home-built.A company named Hodges builds them and they`re real nice.We call`em car haulers or dove-tails.They`re not considered wreckers.They are for transport.
