Neat truck even though its a Ford. Trying to save my money though. Hope someone takes care of it. Is it yours? Mike

Damn...what I wouldn't give for $5K...nice looking truck, and next time I need a hook, I could do it myself.

[Charlie Hatfield]

It belongs to a friend of mine who owns a truck repair shop and does not want to update to pull late model trucks. Also insurance is too high for no more than he uses it.

[RowdyRebel]

When I need a hook, I prefer to see old iron roll in to drag me back...equipment that has already paid for itself several times over. Sure, those new rigs with all of the unnecessary bells & whistles look sharp going down the road...but they usually have notes attached to them, and for as often as they roll down the road, those notes are reflected in the rates. I've never paid more than $100/hour for a heavy duty wrecker, but I've talked to some drivers who thought they got a bargain at twice that rate, though.

What is the wrecker unit? Looks like a shop build.

Nice truck at a nice price. Do you have more pictures for this truck?

Come to Conn . the price is 275.00 Hour. Porthole to port hole .and they want cash . Ozzy Osborn's driver had to take a groopy back to New Haven Ct . Well he missed the off ramp . That cost Mister Ozzborn 98000.00 to get unit out . They should just rounded off to 100000,00 Sunoco oil rolled tank trailer 3 hours later 28000.00 they get with multi uint and support vehicles with lights and personnel And those are the real numbers.That why i use PLUNSKES that s one call shop and the job is done wright . They have 40 Plus units Ive delt 35 + years with family.
