So...............Does it haul anything?:cheers:

Right now it is hauling a dump trailer like my 03 did. I am going to put a dump insert in it to deliver half cords. I am 60 years old and been in wood biz for 40 years and I'm way past may last days hand unloading anything.

The old trucks are nice but this truck.....well it makes the old ones look.....old in everything it does.

I just sold this truck a couple of months ago to a friend of mine. 51 Ford wrecker I used for almost 30 years. Last year we went mini skids and it never got to go to the dance anymore. He will take good care of it and let me use or visit it anytime. I swore I'd die owning it, but.....I guess I lied. Not enough room for a lot ornament.

Just picked a new 09 Silv.3500hd 4x4 last week and got a great deal. There are some real good deals out there right now.

Nice truck! I can't quite read the decal on the hood or see the tailpipe to identify the powertrain.Did you get the D/A or the 352hp 6.0/6 speed auto?
 
Well.... it's not running anymore but here's what Dad & I hauled a LOT of wood in many moons ago. 4 cyl. 1952 Willys

Thanks, I took care of it and it took care of me. We're bout the same vintage...it's a couple years younger than me LOL. We can still both do the job.

How about a pict. of that old wrecker sometime?

My cousin's grandpa restored one that is a year or two older with only 13,000 miles on it. It was a fire department's brush truck and had a water tank but he replaced it with a pickup box. Are you going to try to get yours going again?

Personally, I would have loved to have it up and running (that 4 cylinder sounded so pretty!) but hubby got sick and we had to part with it. It's really kind of funny, technically we 'sold' it to a friend last fall because the city was after us for having a non-running vehicle on our premises. A friend of ours has it right now and it is for sale. The odometer reads 74,208 but that may or may not be 174,208.
