Look what followed me home!!! New toy!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BigBlockBurris · 10-04-2004, 09:16 AM

I have been trying to buy this truck for about 5 years now and my patience finally paid off! 1969 1 ton, 350, SM420, PB with a "Wreck Master" wrecker bed. The bed is PTO run and it all appears to have built in '69. It needs a few things (disc brakes, 14 bolt rear, front fenders, etc...) but for now it is a running, working wrecker I can haul my junk with! Even the beacon lights work! Ha Ha! Tell me what you guys think!

Hmmmm, we may have to change your name to "Cooter".

Very nice!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-04-2004, 10:00 AM

Nice score I sure would like to find one of those to pick up my future project's with.... There is a 69 running around town here but it has big wheel's on it that appear factory with a wide bolt pattern....

LOTS OF THE 1-TONS RAN 18"wheels on them they are hard to find now they were a split rim but most of these trucks have bin changed to 16".Nice truck these older 1-ton are the best!!!!

Longhorn Man · 10-04-2004, 10:17 AM

Wow, never seen that color before. Is it a COPO truck? You oughta paint Tha Happy Hooker on the doors, as a fake buisness name.

BigBlockBurris · 10-04-2004, 10:32 AM

Randy- This truck has always reminded me of cooters truck too!

Longhornman- It was painted green. They painted EVERYTHING and I do mean everything! The glovebox sticker is gone so I don't know the original options. Do to stupid insurance rules and regulations I don't think I can get away with painting anything on it excapt "not for hire".

Thanks guys! I am really digging it!

*Randy70C-10* · 10-04-2004, 10:59 AM

If you repaint it, make sure you put the flags back on!!

BigBlockBurris · 10-04-2004, 11:37 AM

Randy,

Don't worry, the flags are staying! I took some close ups for reference when I do paint it. I got a buddy that does pinstriping so he is going to hook me up!
