Hell yeah! Lose that wrecker mess and put a nice flatbed on it and you got somethin' good!

Heck, I'd probably keep the wrecker bed if it's in good shape. Don't see that many 1 ton's these days, or at least ones in fair shape and that one looks from the photo to be in pretty good shape. I'm thinking it's worth that price, can you get it for a bit less?

Check the Maximum GVW rating on that 71-72... it may be the heavy duty one thats rated at 14000 LBS total... those are sought after because thay are equivalent to the new 450 series tow trucks. The vin tag should look something like this one.
