Need to put some mud grips on that old girl. My dad had a 50 Chevy 2 ton. That he had mounted a drilling rig on. When I was a kid. He always ran deep lug mud grips on all his trucks. For that reason.

I have had a 100 km ride in a similar Chevrolet truck, in 1963; I was 10... Today, I still have the music of the gearbox in my ears. Thank you for this video 😊

Damn... That is Absolutely KOOL!!! That brought back So Many Wonderful memories. I have a First Series 1955 6500 Wrecker. I was going to restore it. But, I think I will keep making it Completely Functional, But leave the body and Wrecker bed like they are. She has her scars from the past 64 years... But, So do I. And, I am Proud of what I went through to get them... So is the Ol Wrecker.

Had a 1951 once the distributor was vacuum advance, funny when you gave it gas that it would turn, also had vacuum windshield wipers, looks like this one has the hand crank for wipers, not remembering the engine (218, or 235) anyway it did NOT have an oil filter, had a cracked block so I welded it. Lol. And i think it also had an electric heater - box looking thing, never used it. The old push pedal for starter. Lol
