Like someone said , no winch? I think the back should be a little longer, come down to a lesser angle. Looks like a good buy. I'm going to see what it sells for.

Tkx for sharing Mark!!!  I think its pretty cool!!!   I also like the straight up cab overs!!!   I seen one awhile ago had an enclosed trailer mounted to the chassis, really liked that one also!!

Neat looking truck. Too much blue oval stuff for me though.

If it had a box on the back I might have followed the auction Willie 🤣

Can't blame you Mark, I was thinking about the one i was telling you about, but up here the up keep and the tolls would of been more money. And i wouldn't have a daily driver i would be using this transporter.   I will see if i can find it. It was a few months ago, so maybe it sold.

Yea willie, I just luv the old school ramp trucks. But I'll just accept being old school with an open trailer 🤣

Looks to me that the rear fuel tank is leaking. Not too bad for being that old of a build. 6-8 miles per smiles? It's got air, power steering, good tires. I will keep a look out to what tit goes for. Going for big $$ ?

I like it Mark!!!

A newer model for anyone interested. After some thought I realize a ramp truck is NOT in my future, limited usage for non car related hauling and a waste of usable garage space 🙃

One car ( maybe, it’s pretty short) and not enclosed. I’d pass. I do like the idea though. But IMOH it cooler with the old trucks

Well it does have a tow hitch 🤣 I too am partial to the old trucks, but the deisel caught my eye. Interior color ruined it for me tho. 

And yea Willie, you know the saying, never say never 🤣

Damn , BAT is taunting me with these ramp trucks. 🤣Theres also a 2003 Chevy but its a manual so the old knees can't handle that 🤣
