We have one here in Santa Fe too. Funny...

Very cool rig by the way...

Thanks all. Not gonna get any pics up this weekend but I'll make sure to get some of the new wheels/tires and some of the toeing setup sometime next week.

Dynomutt · 02-20-2012, 11:29 PM

Here are some pics of the new wheels and tires.

Dynomutt · 02-20-2012, 11:32 PM

And here's a few of the towing apparatus.

Dynomutt · 02-20-2012, 11:35 PM

It's a Ramsey winch and I want to say it's 10,000 lbs but it's been a while since I looked.

Wheels and tires really dressed it up! "No muff to tuff..."

Thanks, I agree. A change I didn't really want to make but was forced to and I think it turned out really well. love the slogan, I'll have to remember that one. If I use it I'll send you a "care package".

Ozark Tim · 02-21-2012, 09:50 PM

Awesome truck!
Yes the guy here in MO that ownes Camel Towing is a guy I went to highschool with.
I like the way you did the patina'd logo, really cool.

Dynomutt · 02-21-2012, 10:25 PM

Thanks Tim.

BTW, did I ever mention that I picked up this little jewel for 780 bucks?

Or did I ever mention it's an original BB truck, with the original BB still in it? Or that it sat for about 10 years, half of which with the drivers window broken out and missing the carb?

I put a carb on it, a battery in it, water and fresh fuel, and it fired up like it never missed a day of work in it's life. freshened a few things up to make it safe and just havin some fun with it now. I got twice as much in wheels and tires as I do in the truck.

It is. Something we're just now kicking off to have a little fun with.

Ozark Tim · 02-22-2012, 09:41 AM

780 bucks! You know everyone wishes for a find like that. You are double lucky on that one. Great truck and cheap.
I really like that it is bronze. Usually tow trucks are white or red, not that there is anything wrong with those colors just nice to see something out of the ordinary.
Well, any time you want to double your money just let me know....LOL!

Thanks Tim. I'm one of those guys that NEVER has this kind of luck so it's been kinda special. I like the color too, don't see too many of em in my neck of the woods either. I think I'll hold out for a while and see if my grandkids can do a little better than doubling my money.

Ozark Tim · 02-23-2012, 09:33 AM

I dont blame you!!
As we say in the ozarks, keep'r between the ditches!

BigCountryx · 02-23-2012, 09:44 AM

I keep thinking that one day I'll stumble across a deal like that, great find!

Thanks! All I can say is keep thinkin that because it can happen. If it happened for me it can happen for ANYBODY. This one was just kind of meant to be. The guy had it posted on CL for a long time before I ever contacted him. He had it posted for $1500 but it was on there for so long, I offered him half and went from there. Didn't go far thought.
