    He works with a phenomenally great score for a tow truck of that error in that shape I hope you fully restore it and hold onto it and enjoy it you’re so fortunate to find it hope you didn’t pay too much very proud of you back in the day on dodgers started with a 77 dodge ram charger then I went to the Dodge pick up three-quarter tons another 78 another 77 and my last dodge was a D3 119 85 dump truck the only bad thing is Chrysler could never figure out how to seal windows so when it rains you had your own Ingra Inground swimming pool in the cab which meant there goes the floors my last one I pulled the carpets up and ran with heavy rubber truck mats the state of the steel and when it rains I just open the doors and let the water out my father said dodge truck one World War II it was what his favorite sayings if you get it running right so you can show dummy dummy dummy 5150 how to recover cars and do it the right way and easy way not work like an animal some people just never learn enough for the preachingTake care junkman do a.k.a. safety Sally

    I just watched Jason's video from a few days ago and you were washing the tow truck. I knew right away that used to belong to a C/P dealer so I had to find your video cause I wanted to know more. Couldn't believe it was from Amaral Motors. I worked at three different C/P dealers in nearby towns and two of them had that same wrecker. I think Dodge Dealers had the red/white color combination. Walking into Amaral Motors was like stepping back in time. I saw a show online somewhere where these guys bought up old cars and parts that Amarals had stored in barns across the street from the dealership. You can probably Google it.

      @@DubWerks Dang! I gave it a shot, tho! Thanks and good luck! Oh, I was wondering if you copy those underhood tow rig data sheets on a flathead scanner whether it would be possible to adjust the images and get the data to show? Just a thought.
