I want this!!! Even though it's a Manure grill.

The price so far is really decent, I have a feeling it won't go much higher. The seller has a lot of pictures posted on a private site, the truck looks pretty decent.

That is cool, Bob. But one problem for you, it's not red.

I think we have a member from Golden, Colorado. He could check out.

If I remember there is one similar to that in the wrecker in Dryden Ontario Bob and think it's a monkey face too

You could make it half way respectable if you installed a monkey face front clip on it. All kidding aside, it is a good looking truck!

No, the only thing that would make that better is if it had a SnoGo drive train under it.😀

I’ll go you one better, Dave. A few weeks ago Chuck sent me these pics he’d just seen on FB. Apparently the guy had just bought it. What’s special about it is that it’s an F-4 / R4-4. To my recall it’s only the third surviving F-4 M-H I’ve seen. The other two are the school bus and Civil Defense van we discussed here not too long ago. Stu

That's a nice looking truck. Very cool! The monkey face it is towing around in the videos is pretty cool too.

Both are very cool, but that round tail wrecker body calls to me. I would love to have that. Not that I would turn down the MH, though. Just sayin'.

Wow!!! What a great find and a very cool truck. I hope we get to see more of it. I would be happy to have either. ...or both...of those trucks but the rounded bed on that first one sure does give it the look!

Nice truck. Every single time I see an old wrecker I have dreams of having one but in reality I probably won't. Cost and head room are my current hold ups.

Someday I’ll get all the pieces I need to finish this Power Wagon Ashton wrecker. Found an Ashton boom a couple years ago, and a Tulsa 19 winch last year. Too many projects. Stu

With all the rain lately, I'd need that 4wd wrecker. Cool trucks!

The auction just ended, and it did end with one bid. Sold at $7500. I hope the truck finds a good home.
