Hi everyone, Im jim Ryerse from Michigans upper penninsula.
Im seeking some help on identifying the truck in pics. I believe it to be 36 lowcab what tonage I do not know. The id tag cannot be read. I would also appreciate any info on wrecker gear.
I spotted this truck from the air while flying with a freind, hiked into it got very excited and tracked down the property owner who promptly said, "If you think you can get it outa there, shes all yours " so I spent a couple days cutting trees and making a path for the backhoe. We are going to get it out this comming weekend.
Any info would be greatly appreciated and Im looking forward to going through the process of getting it back on the road with all of you. photobucket

Welcome Jim, what a unique way of finding a truck and what a great price... It looks like a 1936 Chevy 1.5-Ton or a 1937 Chevy 1.5-Ton...

36-40 Gallery Trucks ...

Did you get any pics from the air of the truck ?

Bigjim,
OMG, that is an awesome find!! It's definitely an '30 eras Stovebolt!! Do what ever you can to "save" it!! The price is a gift. There is more than enough support and encouragement here on "Stovebolt.com" to help you bring this old tow truck back to life. And to think you spotted her from the air! That's amazing! Good eyes and Good luck!

I've heard lots of "drive by" stories about finds on this forum but this has to be the first ever "fly over" find. And a great one at that. Actually doesn't look in too bad a shape either. Congrats & welcome to the 'Bolt!

Thanks for the encouragment, we were only flying at about 500 feet, looking at some hunting areas. Hunted and lived around the area all my life and never knew it there. Crazy
