1958 Chevrolet Viking 40 Tow Truck

[LILREDGMC]

I have been caretaker for this truck for a close friend who now resides in Colorado. It is a Viking 40 series, big fender, 4 Speed V-8, Tow Truck and has a Manley 6 Ton rig on the back. Terry converted it over to a wheel lift style several years ago. Last fall I stripped, acid etched, self etch primed, high build primed and topcoated the hood with PPG Concept single stage white urethane. It was purchased from an older man, when Terry had a repair shop. He was the original owner and from Wilmerding PA. For the right person, it could be a neat addition to a part time business or even a hobbyist. It has thin paint which is trying to surface rust on all horizontal surfaces. The drivers side fender has some rust in front of the eyebrow area, and at the very bottom near the cab. The truck will need better tires to travel any distance, and I've been trying to locate some newer radial or non radial casings for an upgrade from some local towing shops who use the same size on their tow trucks.

Looking for a reasonable offer for this rig. Anyone have any interest or know of a friend or neighbor who could both preserve, use and or restore this Chevrolet.

Would prefer email responses if possible. Pictures are attached.

Thanks for the help.
