New mill for the wrecker...

Relic?!?! What u callin a relic, fella? :draw


For a truck that cost me less than a grand to build, including the truck, I'd say it has served me pretty well.

Been thinking about putting some newer running gear under it, though.

TC, is yours a 54, or a 55 1st series?

'54 from what I can tell. you got a grill for one BTW? Mime is a little too beat up to be saved.

Nope. All my stuff is 47-53 5-bar grill. Got an eye on a pickup with a good looking chrome grill. Haven't got ahold of the old man that owns it yet, tho.

It looks like a Dana 60 in that truck towing the grader I know the 44 in my old 78 F-250 4x4 had a smaller hub than that.

 

[PackRat]

Looks like the same hub that was on the 44 under my K-10. Much smaller than the one on the 60, under the Crossbreed.

Who cares what the axles are... ......its simply the fact that the "little that could"..... did . With its "big brother" looking on

Pulling on the grader sure sucked the suspension down the axle must have been hitting the bump stops pulling. I guess something can be said about the strength of the 14 bolt Chev rear axle.

When you're right, you're right. Definitely a testiment to the 'less is more' theory.

I like the look on people faces, when I do twice the work, with half the equipment.

....But then again, I'm insane.

I did the same with my carrier . There's many loyal customers who were disappointed when I got out of the driver's seat. The new guy just couldn't figure out how I was able to pull off many of my "stunts".

TC, got some bad news, ole buddy. After reviewing my situation, decided to let the wrecker go to a new home. Just couldn't justify the expense of keeping it around, anymore. I think the ramp truck will either get sold, or parted out, too.

To give the final answer on the poll: The wrecker will be getting a 96 roller-cam 350, aluminum intake, and Q-Jet. That's what I had accumulated for it, and it went in the deal.
