SHOOT JEFF ---- THATS RIGHT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, & IF YOU CAN PICK IT UP FOR LESS THAN 5 GRAND, I THINK YOU BETTER GO FOR IT. EVERYBODY NEEDS A WRECKER.

That looks to be a very nice truck, and has a bit better of a starting bid than the flatbed you posted. But come on, if you are going to list a vehicle on eBay, at least divulge what kind of engine and transmission it has!

Tough crowd today, and I thought I was being *****y about the missing knob on the speedwarning.:p

Wow, that's pretty, and in CT too. I'll bet that the max bid doesn't reach the reserve.:p

C'mon that guys had that thing since it was brand spankin new. Do you really think that he wants to get rid of it

junkyardjohn · 12-30-2003, 04:45 PM

WELL HE PROBABLY DOESN'T WANT TO SELL IT FOR $1025.00 , BUT IF SOMEONE IS WILLING TO PAY SOMETHING A LITTLE CLOSER TO WHAT IT IS REALLY WORTH, I'D BET HE WOULD. UNLESS IT'S FULL OF BONDO, IT LOOKS LIKE A BARGAIN AT AROUND $5000. JOHN

That's a great find especially for CT. Everything I find around here isn't anything more than a few good parts trucks.

spencra · 12-30-2003, 05:14 PM

zyggy72, I hear you there

71402BB · 12-30-2003, 05:33 PM

I agree, I think we need that also dad! thats one sweet tow truck! If you boys think it's tough in CT to find a nice lookin older truck, then just come on up here to Northern NH and I'll show ya some nasty rust!

zyggy72 · 12-30-2003, 05:35 PM

I found and original 69 chevy wreaker for $100 but it needed to be completely rebuilt from the frame up. I don't remember if there was a title, but in CT if I remember correctly you have to have the previous wreaker inspection report to be able to get the truck registered, and I don't think there was a report for that truck.

spencra · 12-30-2003, 06:08 PM

A few years ago I bought a 57 chevy 3100 pickup for $200. After I stripped the thing down to the cab I realized that the cab was not going to be saved. Just about the whole firewall was shot. I should have inspected it a bit closer. Oh well it was only $200 bucks, I still have some of the parts from it that I'll sell one of these days that will probably easily get me my money back. It's funny how you could get more for your truck in pieces than as a whole.

Would we be considered part of the rust belt?

Or are we just considered the salt belt?
