One Ton Wrecker On CL

Not mine, and I have no connection. Just a nice old jailbar one ton wrecker for sale. Unusual to see on a one ton chassis. Stu

Thanks for sharing that Stu. I'm just glad it's not 'just down the road' from ME! Very cool truck. I'm hoping for pictures of that road trip as well

I agree with the seller, that is a neat truck! It's incredibly clean too and I really like what he did with the grill.

Well that's cool. I said I should come over to this forum more, but now I'm changing my mind. Too many cool trucks here. I wonder if you could get him to throw in the car it is towing?

So is that a decent price? It's in good shape, but a one ton must be hard to find parts for.

Looks to be all there. Price is probably high imho, but the hand crank wrecker makes it unlike any other you'd find. And no doubt negotiable. Parts availability similar to 48-52s I think. Stu

The one tons I've had use the front fenders from the 1 1/2 tons, Wheels aren't wms which is good. Never had trouble finding brakes etc. Usually king pins are same as 1/2 tons. Pretty much a mix of parts from the other sizes. It's a real good size truck. Love to see it end up with an FTEer!

The '47 and earlier tonners had a unique 5 lug x 6 7/8" bolt pattern. Used 7.50 x 17" tires. Always single rear wheel. Not widow makers. The outer rims were the Firestone "RH" design that has a solid/continuous side ring. Still can be serviced. Stu
