Thanks. I miss the old wrecker, but I wasn't using it enough to justify the tag and insurance anymore. With the high GVWR, the upkeep was too high for it to not be making money. We're tagging and insuring 8 vehicles right, 5 of which are a 67-72 trucks, and I had to thin the herd a little! I can haul any car or truck I want with my ramp truck, and I'll be using my '67 C-30 to pull others on my car trailer as soon as I get everything sorted out with the diesel.

That red wrecker with the SITAN on the door looks like those special order C 40's with the 5 lug front and 10 lug rear.

There's a Big-Un (C-40 - C-60 ???) here that's been for sale here for a long time. Saw it just the other day.

50MOTORHEAD · 11-29-2008, 12:28 PM

That wrecked one is near me .It's Oak Lawn Illinois Tri State Towing.
Also,,,The old wrecker that was the chevy dealer's in hot springs ark.,,,I just bought a truck up here that had a step bumper with that dealer's name stamped into the bumper. Maybe that old wrecker hauled my 72 truck at one time or another.-KB
