may be getting a 66 tow truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found this truck I think would be really cool. I told the guy I would trade him straight up my 1992 Gmc. Just waiting for him to get home to call him.

This is a quote from the owner and all I know of the truck so far.

Quote:> nice old tow truck , lots new runs like a top, is a big back window lots of new on it runs and drives sweet has new front end, new ball joints upper and lowers, new tie rods, inner and outers, new drag link, new bearings and races inners and outers, new shocks, new carb, new tune up, all the wiring is soldered and marine grade for a century worth of use and no worrys, has electric winch and also pto winch, runs and drives verry nice one finger

I think I saw it on Cragslist. I wish I had more room, and a more understanding wife. I'd love to have it.

Well, If I get it I will have it match my 66 project I got going now. But I have a Camaro project I want to get started on after my truck is done. So I don't know.

Well, the update is that after carefully thinking it over I am better off not getting it at this time. I have one project near completion. I have another project I plan to start after this one, and I really need to keep a pickup around anyway. Plus, this towtruck is something like 180 mi. away from here. I really can't afford to make a trip like that right now. I think it would be an awsome project but I can't afford another project right now. So if one of you guys is interested in it here is a link to the craigslist post.

Sometimes reality just sucks... but your truck is almost ready to roll so you're probably doing the right thing.
