hi, jerry ,thanks for youre reply
i understand about building recovery equipement as i have built and worked heavy recovery * a lot over the years as it was part of my job
but due to a heart /stroke scare a couple of years back i no longer hold a heavy goods vehicle licence
so smaller trucks it is for me now
hence the chevy.

it is on single rear wheels which is one thing i doubted was right but the seller says it has allways been that way ,,but he can,t tell how he knows ?? strange,,thinks I,

i,m hoping someone will tell me how to I,D. the winch which is pto driven but i may find out more about that when i visit the truck again later this week
this seems like the place to be asking all the questions so i may keep em coming and i,ll try to post some photo,s when i get some good one,s and work out how to do it.
by the way the seller has the truck listed on ebay in the uk at the moment but he,s going to pull the listing now i,m buying
if you can veiw ebay i,d be gratefull of youre opinion
thanks
