It has a gvw of 16,000 pounds.

 

you could see it on the steps before i washed it.

 

i did some bodywork with a 2lb hammer and a brick to roughly knock the dents out

 

That's a Baddass truck. It's definitely got potential. My son in law's family owns a towing company. His Dad loves to see these old wreckers.

 

Very cool truck, I love how there's an oil gauge mounted at the actual oil port in the block. They checked the oil pressure as often as they checked the oil level hahaha!
Thanks for taking the time to post pictures.

 

There are 2 types of rims on that truck there are 4 of the original rims and two rims that say budd on the pattern surface and have a split lock ring in them unlike the orignals.
i have all 6 of the original rims but 2 of them that are off of the truck are rotted too bad to use and have bald tires on them

 

i took the wheels off the truck yesterday to clean and rattlecan them matte black.

 

one of the tires is brand new and is branded co-op country squire

 

I'm not convinced that this and possibly others are not an RH-5.


The ones that have a split lock ring are fine (if in serviceable condition). Both examples you posted are split lock ring types:



RH-5 rims like this split at essentially the "drop center" with a solid ring that twists on are not:


I just really want to make sure you know what you have so you are able to safely work on, drive, and show your awesome truck.

 

ok thanks i have all six orignal rims but 2 of them were rotted away before i got the truck so it has 2 rims with the split lock ring off a different truck that say budd between the lug holes.

 

so i have 4 rh-5 rims on the truck and two lock ring type on the left rear for less confusion and yesterday i rearanged the rims on the back to where the fronts are rh-5, the back right duals are rh-5 and the left rears are lock ring type.

 

also can i get some help finding rebuild kits for the rear wheel cylinders as i cant find any. the fronts are fine but the back ones are leaking like a sieve.

sorry but i am going to rebuild the old cylinders as i cant afford new ones and the old ones are in good shape but the seals are just dryrotted, but they were new five to six years before the truck was parked.
