Ohhh, the things I could do to this beast!

Just found this listing (not mine) on Kijiji Canada, (sort of like Crag's list)
This is one beautiful wrecker! Lots of potential here! Transform it into a vintage GMC dealership wrecker perhaps? Think I have some vintage style GMC door logos kicking around that would fit perfectly Just might have to find out how much he wants for it?

I saw that ad a while ago. He was calling it a barn find but it looks fairly recently refreshed.
Nice truck none the less.
Greg.

I guess he re-posted the add yesterday then. It does look like a fresh paint job however. Clean looking rig for sure.

If it's a Canadian truck, then it would not have a V6 unfortunately. Hard to tell form the engine bay shot what it has but I assume it's a V8. I have just emailed the seller for more info on the engine/transmission etc. I'll post back if I get a reply.

Very cool, nice choice on the color, it does look like a toy for big boys, I going to need a bigger garage.

Re: Ohhh, the things I could do to this beast!

In the top picture it has a push bumper and below it it has a stock steel molded bumper.
I have an NOS Commercial Chevrolet Grille Guard for those trucks as well as the GMC Rocket Air Horn and vacuum assisted air pump for trucks without air brakes. I also have period correct Armored Clearance Lights for it as well.

Wow! Nice accessories, if I was to buy it I'd have to shop at your place to make it look just right! Unfortunately, the 16K he is asking for it is a bit too steep for me.
