Driveway Dreams · 01-01-2010, 10:51 PM

Chief, I agree with Cheese. Put a set of 22.5" wheels on that bad boy. It would look killer.

flamingbig10 · 01-01-2010, 11:03 PM

Chief Bail · 01-01-2010, 11:04 PM

Thanks Big A. Hard to keep clean as much towing I been doing. Plus bad weather uno.

*78 Chevyrado* · 01-01-2010, 11:16 PM

Awesome truck man! I like the black, I don't remember seeing a black tow truck. Around here they're all red for some reason...lol

Chief Bail · 01-02-2010, 12:35 AM

Hahaha Thanks Dude. Yea it was white at 1st. The paint in the insides tell all. And your right most of them are red or white.

misternash2 · 01-02-2010, 01:44 AM

i don't know about you boys, but the first thought in my head was "large and in charge"

chief, that's a damn nice score. all the wreckers around here have been rode hard and put up wet. course, i live between "you got a purdy mouth" and "B.F.E." where nobody treats anything nice it seems. looks sturdy enough to make lots of money with it.

Chief Bail · 01-02-2010, 02:23 AM

Yea but I dont want to look ghetto uno. With a towing service you wanna look good and proffesional. Uno what I mean brohamsandwich???

misternash2 · 01-02-2010, 02:36 AM

not much snow. we get ice here. i love snow days. i take the wife out sliding around in parking lots and backroads every year. i respect the ice though. that stuff will sneak up on you and bite you in the ass quickly.

cableguy0 · 01-02-2010, 02:39 AM

22.5's are a dot ticket waiting to happen. save the money and buy yourself an firestone add on airbag kit for the rear of that thing to keep the nose from rising up and getting the steering loose on heavy vehicles. another thing you should look into is a wrecker bumper with some weight to it. it helps a lot more than you would think. plus if you ever gotta push anything you wont hurt the wrecker bumper.

misternash2 · 01-02-2010, 02:44 AM

what's the dot infraction with 22.5's?

cableguy0 · 01-02-2010, 02:50 AM

its not so much the fact of the wheels. its drawing that much attention to yourself. why try to pretend to be a big truck and have to run 350 dollar a piece tires?

Uno I've been thinking about that. But My truck looks so good. The push bumber will make it look Ugly. But hey im with you. I need to make money and look good when im in my personal vehicle.

cableguy0 · 01-02-2010, 03:00 AM

As long as the push bumper is painted up nice it will look fine. you can get then without the top cage and it will just about blend it like stock except it will weigh a couple hundred pounds
