HELLO THERE!

NEW GUY HERE FROM CT. MY WIFE AND I, JUST PICKED UP A 56 CHEVY 3600 3/4 TON PICKUP WRECKER. PAID $100 FOR THE THING! YES, $100!!! PLANS ARE TO RUN IT HOW IT SITS, SHE WOULD LIKE TO LOWER IT, UPGRADE OR GET NEW BRAKES AND ALL NEW LINES. NOT REALLY TRYING TO SWAP FRAMES. WOULD REALLY LOVE TO ACHIEVE ALL THE ABOVE GOALS...WITH USING THE ORIGINAL CHASSIS AND KEEPING IT 8 LUG....OR WHATEVER WORKS! WE'D LIKE TO GET MY HANDS ON SOME ALCOA TRUCK RIMS THAT YOU'D SEE ON THOSE HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. HERE'S COUPLE PICS! LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING WITH SOME OF YOU ON THE BOARDS.....

I'd get it running, toss a set of aluminum or chrome wheels on it. Not sure how bad the body is, but I'd leave it alone and not paint it. If it's possible.

Clean up the gauges and interior, and you'd have a pretty cool hot rod tow truck.

THAT IS THE PLAN -TO GET IT ON THE ROAD. ALL READY RUNS. JUST NEED A SOLUTION WITH THE BRAKES! APPARENTLY, THERE'S NO AFTERMARKET FOR THE 3/4 TON TRUCK OWNERS. MY WIFE WOULD LIKE TO UPGRADE TO DISC BRAKES AND DROP THE TRUCK'S STANCE. ALL OF WHICH IDEALLY WILL BE WHILE SHE'S DRIVING THE TRUCK.
