Gear oil was new. At least it is easy to get to. Looks like I am going to spend some time cleaning out whats in the back of the wrecker as well.

I was kidding on the gear oil and you haven't answered my question if you are going to keep the exhaust stacks on the wrecker.

You will have to pick a name for the side of the truck.

Where are these located Kevin ?

I've always liked the Ol Wrecker look.
I know a Guy that runs a 61 Chevy Wrecker, Big sucker. Mid winter we had a 50 vehicle pile up on I-90, he was even dragging Semi Tractors with it.

Dick, The trucks are in Brooklyn CT. I was glad it was not Brooklyn NY. I figure I will leave Monday afternoon to pickup the wrecker truck. I will try to load it at 8:00 am and be on road at 10:00. He said he has a friend with a wrecker to hook up to the truck and put it on backwards so the weight is upfront and over the axles more. I will spend Wednesday taking it apart and to the sandblasters. He has a big forklift to take it off with. My thought is to then load my truck up on a trailer take it down to him and let him set it right on the truck. I am going to let him blast it and paint it.

Kevin,

Nicely done, that will really finish your truck out.
