Re: 67 wrecker pic

yeah it seems alot of flame jobs turn out looking sortta like that. But I know from experience that it's not the easiest thing to accomplish. There are many people who can handle a paint gun and paint with success, but the "knack" for adapting the licks of a flame job to a vehicles contours isn't always there.
Still a neat old truck though. Any body from LA know this truck? Does it get used?

Re: 67 wrecker pic

I feel great whenever I see one of our old trucks still being used in a commercial application.

Re: 67 wrecker pic

If you look close, you can see a little tiny exhaust pipe under the rocker that curves up into that big ol stack.

I believe your right....probably using that small pipe to maintain backpressure...

Re: 67 wrecker pic

Yeah I am another wrecker service close to him and I have never seen him use it but it used to be his main truck back in the day. I have seen it up close and it is so cool and it has a 454.
Thanks
Brad
