68 Chevy Slant back wrecker - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**RenoKeene** · 02-23-2011, 04:19 PM

I am going to look at this tomorrow. 350/th350, runs and drives good, new 10 ton winch, good rubber, new brakes. Some rust in the rockers (has new ones not installed) and a couple holes in the floor. Roof is good, so is bed and ramps. The owner is still using it from time to time. Under $3000.00
How rare are these? Only seen a couple. This would be very cool to haul our trucks around.
Any input would be helpful.
Thanks,
Reno

It needs flames on the hood.... I bet it would haul better!

**FL71C10** · 02-23-2011, 04:30 PM

I saw that on CL and thought it seemed like a reasonable price.

Hey John, Wouldn't our trucks look good on the back of this thing!

That's the only way mine is going anywhere!

Reminds me of my family's old ramp truck...
I'm jealous.

**RenoKeene** · 02-23-2011, 07:51 PM

Any opinions or info on these? Did Chevy build them or just sold Cab-Chassis to fab shops. Should I look for something in the VIN or SPID that would tell me what it is...other than the normal ID #?
Does anybody have one or pic's?
I need info tonight if anyone can help.
Thanks

Looks damned cool for a tow rig/ I see a ton of potential but more work in ur future!

**Hart_Rod** · 02-23-2011, 08:23 PM

Cool truck! I don't think Chevy built them, they just sold cab and chassis and the "ramp" was added. If you pass, let me know as I might be interested.

I knew a guy with one in South Bend, IN and it was the sickest ride I've seen. I drooled everytime I saw it, it was done old school hot rod, red with ghost flames, totally bada**.

67chevy1series · 02-23-2011, 09:29 PM

umm i know people think there are small back window 68s but how can you explain no marker fenders, and the small window?
i know there are marker lights but they arent in the original spot they are frther forward and up we need a shot of the dash.....

Dude, that's a 67 cab.
BUY IT!

That seems like a great deal. Look at how the frame was stretched. Look for rust from possible areas that held water/grit. These were shop-built by individuals and there were some shops that got to be known for nice jobs. The leader is: www.hodgescustomhaulers.com
