The current owners father purchased this truck back in 1974 and he
owned it until 1992. It was unfortunately lost to the Bank as it
was used as collateral on a loan. The second owners purchased it
from the Bank and maintained ownership through 1999 until he put it
in a Raffle for a local Non-Profit. The Third Owner took possession
after his lucky raffle ticket paid off and he owned it up until
2022 when the current owner found it AGAIN and purchased it
back.
Her father used this truck as a working truck (towing and
snowplowing) from 1974-1982 when he started to modify it into it's
current state. The current restoration was completed in about 1989.
Owners two and three made no significant changes to any feature on
the truck. Since it was acquired back in 2022 a lot of work was put
into it to make it road worthy again, but no body changes.
From 1982-1989 modifications included: Cab stretched two feet,
custom tilt front end, cab put onto stretched from from a 1972
Chevy 1-ton dually. The Motor and Transmission were both rebuilt
leaving you with a gorgeous Custom Built Flatbed and Wrecker with
Custom paintwork, custom interior and vinyl top. Numerous awards
were won with this truck and it has placed in almost all the shows
that it was entered into.

were installed in 2022, Carb was rebuilt in 2022 along with a full

All new Brake pads, shoes, rotors, calipers, wheel cylinders, and
