    Don't get me wrong, I'm not tap dancing on Goliath's grave (and the wheels and tires on the big guy are going on the wrecker), but this was an opportunity I don't think I'd get again, plus if that truck got crushed and I didn't at least take a shot at it, it would have killed me.

    I'll make sure the big guy goes to a good home!

      Ed, it will be a couple of weeks. Once I get the dude the money, I'll see when I can get a Friday off of work and then go from there.

        The truck lived it's whole life inside and was then stored in a barn. It is hella clean. There's some rot in the driver's side rocker, but other than that, nothing. All the mechanicals work and the split boom wrecker (with two 15 ton winches....woot!) is fully working as well.

        My kids are going to freak out.
        THE PICS i SAW SHOWED rust rot in the lower front fenders , cracking paint, might be nothing,

          The worst of it is in the rocker. There's some battle scars in the fenders and stuff. It's not perfect, but for a totally stock, unmolested 43 year old wrecker, it is in great shape.

          Spidey, what does the Keystone painted on the wrecker body mean?

                    Nooo! I haven't met Goliath in person yet. Will have to fix that ASAP. But awesome score! Let me know if you can't scare up a copilot. That would be a Friday well spent.

                      Pete, volunteers cannot be victims. Remember that.

                      You're the guy if necessary!

                      Hey on the 18th, can you get to the Foxboro cruise? I am going to head down there again with the boys.

                              It should take you about a day just to get into PA with that *LOL*, if you need a place to stay there over a weekend drop me a PM

                              That must have been a riot towing another truck with that 292.

                                Brian, that is seriously one of the coolest tow trucks I have ever seen. When you get bored with it you can just drive it out here and drop it off anytime you want.
