2nd Ramp truck in 3 weeks
Okay, this is the 2nd ramp truck I have purchased in the last month...
I like this one and plan on keeping it around for use to tote to the track and maybe even longer hauls like Chevellabration. Truck has a Hodges styled bed (haven't confirmed its legitimacy yet). It has a 454 and everything else is pretty basic. Had A/C but most of the parts have been removed. I'll need to decide whether I want to replace the missing factory parts or install a complete aftermarket system (if anything at all.) I pulled out the dirty/nasty carpet and put down a layer of POR15. Will probably just get a rubber mat and call it a day. I debated if I wanted to replace the door panels & dash pad as I did in the other truck that is now for sale but believe I am just going to leave well enough alone. No need to sink a ton of money into this thing! I really like the idea of having the various things I need at the track all handy without having to load everything into the trunk of the Chevelle! If only the Chevelle build sheets were this easy to find!

Have had a little interest in the 1st. The owner of the speed shop is debating buying it but already has something like 18 classic cars and is going to possibly buy a 70 Caprice in Alabama on Monday.
Hopefully someone will show interest as I will take a large hit to see it gone!

Cool truck Eric!! Even has hydro-boost brakes.
Good luck with the sale of the other one...seems like things aren't really moving right now. I've had some interest in the wagon and some very weird trade offers. Maybe it'll get better after Tuesday...

A guy I know has one darn near identical to that. He gets about 10 mpg with his. An overdrive would be nice on the long hauls.
I kept going back and forth on the ramp truck thing. I think I'm going to hold out for a rollback. I'm picking up a twin boom wrecker after the first of the year. I'll be SO MUCH HAPPIER not to have to lug ramps around and deal with a trailer anymore.
