This is a working running truck. we make money with it scrapping cars. The only mod done to it is a 1980 350 motor everything else is as it was in 1955.
Of course this is an ongoing project but aren't all old trucks
When I grease the muffler bearings it always wants to go backwards and the radio plays classical music ... any suggestions?

I am from western north carolina in between asheville and hendersonville.
I will post more pics hopefully this week. When the rain stops I am supposed to tow a "B" model Mack dump out of a field I will post pics of that when I do it.

So, Mater, since your just up the road from me when you coming down to the BEACON for cruise night? We have one tomorrow night and one the 3rd Friday or each month!... and a Southern Stovebolt Reunion end of May... a tow truck would look good with the other bolts Just come straight down I-26 and get off about exit 21 or 22 and your almost there!
Can't wait to see it hooked to a "B" model. Reminds me of when I first found my Holmes W35, down in Florence, South Carolina, there was an old "B" model Mack sitting next to it that the previous owner said he had towed in there with my Holmes. Here's a photo of it, http://www.stovebolt.com/gallery/images/hardy_spanky_1946b.jpg
