The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts More pics of my Wrecker

Back by popular demand, here are some more pictures of my 1 1/2 ton Chevy wrecker (and some other things in my web-shots). It finally stopped raining enough to go get some more shots. Click the link and check them out!

Someone asked in the old thread what series it is, I am not sure. the GVW is 16000 lbs, if that helps any. Can someone else answer that question?

Have a great day!

Wrecker

Its always nice to see a ford being towed by a chevy! Thats a great truck you have there.

It's nice to see it is still makin' a livin'. That's a sweet old truck.

If it's a 16000lb. gvw truck, it's actually a 2 ton 6100, or 6400 series. Looking at the wheelbase in the picture, i'm going to guess 6100 series. Look at the ID plate in the driver door jamb, & see what the numbers are. This will tell you, what you have. Also looks to be a '51 model, with the pull down door handles, & vent glass. Get that ID plate no., & decifer it. That's the only sure way to find out. Good look'in truck. Thanks for the additional pictures.

spanky, it has one 51 door, and one 49 door. I think that the title says 49, I'll have to look at it again and make sure. Thanks for the comments!

Spanky, you are right, after consulting the title, she is a 51 model. It does have what is apparently a 53 model door on the passenger side. Are 53 doors supposed to have a wing window?

Yes, '52-'55 1st series doors have the push button door handles, & vent glass. Did you notice if it was a 14000lb., or 16000lb. gvw truck. This would be on the ID plate, in the driver door jamb.

Knuckle,
Nice lookin' rig man, I snagged all your pics for my reference files. One like it is on my "List"

16000 lbs gvw as per the door sill plate

16000lb. gvw, = 2 ton truck. Depending on the wheelbase, a 6100, or 6400 series.
