I’ve been looking for a tow truck, and I found this:

So that’s an ‘86 F-350 flatbed in Shadow Blue Metallic with blue interior. As a refresher, here’s my Mustang:

‘86 LX in Shadow Blue Metallic with blue interior.

If I had that truck and took my Mustang to the track with it, it would look like a mother kangaroo carrying around her joey. It's just a shame that the truck costs about 6x more than I want to spend on a tow truck. Gorgeous truck though, I want the hell out of it.

I think you know what you need to do.

(Damn that LX looks good. Good on you man!)

Find a ramp truck, they’re way cooler. If I were rich enough, I would commission a modern truck and trailer from Mercedes as a predecessor of their vintage hauler.

3 pedal, that's not a 300ci with a 5spd?

Nah, 6.9 diesel. You actually see 351s and 460s with a stick in that vintage too, which is pretty sweet.

Thanks buddy. I bought it in pieces...all the body was off it and the interior was out. I kinda slapped it back together and was pleasantly surprised by how nice a car I bought, haha.

My current plan is actually to find a wrecker with an under-body wheel lift and build a pickup truck bed where the winch boom would be. That way I would have pickup truck utility, and still be able to tow the race cars with it.

I’ve followed the progress. I was surprised that it didn’t need more work than it did.

It's a lot better than I thought it would be when I went to get it, which barely ever happens. It's got a small hole in the floor that needs to be patched, but that's really about it.

That is sweet! I’ve always wanted to buy a tow truck.
