I'm not really the bashing type, But I don't see anything to bash anyway. I think it is a very cool truck hope you and your special girl enjoy it. Great find, are you going to keep it as a wrecker or what? what are the plans?

chevy72pu · 12-19-2011, 08:45 AM

She is a keeper, and the truck is too!

Bert W · 12-19-2011, 10:59 AM

I never get Christmas gifts like that. Nice wrecker! Are you going to leave it a wrecker, or is there a dually bed in the future? Can't wait to hear the story.
