that truck could sit here in southern Colorado and have very little rust, but tires and hyd hoses are sketchy from the sun bake, good find hopefully it will serve it purpose for you .
Some of my family lives in Colorado I could definitely see the sun being a problem out there in the summer months, up here its just the rust belt lol nothing we can do about it, Its awesome in the spring summer and fall but terrible in the winter thank you for the comment.
Now that is a prize catch! Big block and all, in a Square Body! Hope to see a lot more involving the adventures of this very handy vehicle even if it lives on by donating parts. Edit! Your wife is a very patient and caring soul. She witnessed a pretty scary drive home. We'll, thanks to the front drive axle and the dualies, you somehow made it home!
Unfortunately the big block was the only prize catch the square body tow truck was way to far rotted to fix but the 454 lives on thank you for your comment.
It was actually very rusty and got parted out but a lot of the parts ended up on my stepside square body check out some of those videos if you like. Thank you for your comment.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣it kinda looks like to me that old Chevy truck is just losing parts left and right here lol I think I seen the exhaust come or fell off of that truck 🤣🤣😁👍
Fix the record you're going to need it it is going to be a great addition to your cars you don't have to pay somebody to bring them home fix the wrecker have a great day dog
New video coming out today showing what we did to the wrecker bed I think you will like it unfortunately the cab and frame of this one was way to rusted up or I would have definitely loved to have it in my fleet thank you for the comment.
I like how you do things. And you mentioned my favorite UA-cam fella. I am going to subscribe. And may I share on Facebook, so my friends can check out your channel?
@@FranklinsteinsGarage just curious, did Derek give you any royalties for mentioning his name🤣🤣 lol Just joking, I'm a fan of Vice Grip Garage😆 BTW, i did subscribe😊
@@timothygeiger8271 lol no he didn't but thats ok I would just like to have a cold snack with him some day that would be awesome lol and thank you for subscribing there will be more.
Old School Sling wrecker trucks got mostly put out use, when the 90's plastic front end cars came about, those hyd lift Kits where too expensive to convert over too. but still there use full. love have one scoot around in, bring back great memories of teen years with late farther picking up scrap cars on weekend.
You are probably right about why they aren't really used anymore I thought the same thing the plastic bumpers would break on new cars thank you for the comment.
Yep a sling wrecker is pretty much obselete. Ours is now a yard dog with a set of gin poles. We now use a tilt top trailer with a electric winch. Insures cheaper than a wrecker. and can be pulled by any truck. For a time I pulled it with a 66 chevy 1/2 ton with a 283 and three on the tree no problems.
I sold the bed to a good friend of mine for his project and there will be a video of us installing it soon, I still have the 454 out of it trying to sell it and other parts the body and frame of the truck was way to far gone to try and save unfortunately but we are making good use out of the parts that we can thank you for the comment.
Ohhh yeah,...thats a Keeper,...454 square body & a wrecker.....Im new to your channel, so have no idea what yer plans are for this beast.... Hope you don't part it......ughhhh got vertigo from the camera please.....steady shots....
You don't want that when you're done with it you don't want that record when you're done with it then bring it to me I'll pay you for that wrecker and I'll put it back together again have a great day
That's okay I have a 78 Ford F-350 wrecker that I bought and I've made a lot of money with the puppy already just bringing cars home rather they run or not and I didn't have to pay other people to bring it to me but you enjoy the big black
Why did you do any of this like this, there was a tractor on site, I don’t think there is any steering this thing is the biggest peace of junk , and now you know why no one like Square bodies, this truck was parked because the guy you got it from knows it is a peace of junk, f you had to pay for it , that was to much, they should of payed you to take off there hands, what a joke of someone taking you to the cleaners, the clutch is bad the drive winds bad and the floors are rusted the front end fell apart the tire rods broke it’s a giant piece of junk, lolololll but it made a good bench mark of how not to make a vlog, nice, all that will be usable is maybe the The winch and gears for the winch, the ready of it is junk yard bound, oh yeah m thanks BigAl California. Praise Jesus grace Christ amen 🙏.
I love the English language, granted I'm no pro, but it's actually important to know the basics. Kinda like knowing the basics of a vehicle, sometimes it's shit and sometimes it just smells like it.
