Talking silly new guy question

Alright im going to be looking around for a tow truck. It will probly end up being more or less a daily driver for me in the feuture as well as have towing duties on the weekend. It will be lugging around my 82 F-150 on a 2axle trailer. I was just wondering what kind of set up you think i should run, oh but it must be a 4x4.

When you first said "tow truck", I pictured a rig with the apparatus to put another rig "on the hook". After reading more, it sounds like it's going to be a truck you tow with. If that's the case, I'd suggest an F350 with 4:10 gears. I'll leave the choice of cab design, and transmission up to you.

I thought getting a Powerstroke was a "given", so I didn't even bring it up. Good point!
