That tow truck does look good.It has a Weld-Built or NoMar wrecker body on it.I can't tell for sure which from the angle of the pic.It would be nice to have but the insurance would be a killer. :cry:

The wrecker was a pile of bondo. I spotted it from the road. I thought it looked good too. Got in touch with the owner. He wanted $1000+ for it. The engine was all pulled apart. The truck was pretty bad. I posted it here in for sale a few months ago.
The good humor truck is not GH man's, but a friend of his who lives in Poughkeepsie, NY, about 1 hr up the Hudson River from me. Here'e his website. www.chillywillysicecream.com He's made a few posts here as mrseventies or something like it.

I don't know if somebody lives in the trailer or not. It's behind a restuarant. Maybe the help lives in it?

One of my other friend has a 70 f 100 blue/white not restord, Just a work trcuk

Other firend has a 72 not restord blue/ white work truck lol.

There is a 71 truck blue with a camper siting off the road where its hard to see :D .

Theres a red/white 70 71 72 siting in the weeds with a bunch of tires in the bed.

There might be 2 more but I never see them any more. So im the only restord bump in the town with 4,000 people. And I have the only runing 71 :lol:
