The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts It not a Chevy but it is BIG

Well;
This truck cost me a '68 Mustang convertible for Mrs Gott. ANyways to answer a few questions:
Engine is a Hercules JXC (574 cubic inches) flathead 6 cylinder rated at 125 hp at 2200 rpm's. (remember its not horsepower but the torque that counts..........)
The wrecker boom is rated at 6 tons off road, but on road the combined boom rating is 10 tons, however a suspended lift would exceed the chassis rating of the truck. Up front is a 7 1/2 ton rated winch. The boom winch is powered off a divorced transfer case and both booms can be operated independently, the boom speed is controled by both throtle and the transmission (usually would use 2nd or third gear while the transfer case is in neutral)
Road speed is 45 mph with a tailwind.
Transmission is a 5 speed Fuller and the axles are a double reduction unit made by Timken.
Oh, almost forgot, 3 mpg, with a 50 gallon fuel tank.
Anymore questions let me know

John Gott
