Truck # 7 is an open check book maintained 1981 Chevrolet Silverado C-30 / Holmes 480 twin line / Century Formula 1 (no tilt) electric over hydraulic wheel lift wrecker .This wrecker has an active 2010 SCHP inspection and is currently on rotation in the Dillon zone . If you live in South Carolina this SCHP inspection will make it easy for you to put this truck on SCHP rotation this year as an addition to your fleet or as a 2011 start up wrecker service . This wrecker has been used by us as a motor club first responder on the I-95 corridor , and for light duty service including jump starts , fuel deliveries , lock outs , and tire changes .We have used this truck for small rental car swap outs to and from rental car airport pools . This wrecker has also been used as a helper winch truck . These Holmes 480s are brutes for their size if you can keep them stationary . This truck will still pull when my hydraulic Century 412's stall out . The chassis is a Silverado C-30 with power windows , locks , tilt and cold A.C. The windows are slow , the locks have never worked since I have owned the truck . The seat has been recovered in 2009 period correct black vinal . The headliner was replaced in 2009 along with the carpet . The door panels have been redyed . The dash is painted the exterior color of the wrecker . The lightbar is a 4 rotator Code 3 excalliber series with LED stop/tail/turn lights . The tail lights are LEDs . The bed was sandblasted in 2009 , At that time the entire truck was epoxy primed , block sanded and painted in Victory red epoxy paint . (See photos before lettering was added) There is no rust on this truck . It has always been in this area since new . Most of its life it lived inside a garage . The engine is a 2010 G.M. Goodwrench 350 crate engine . ($1,880) It is still under warranty . The engine has 7,000 miles on it and has run Mobil 1 since start up . The transmision and rear axle have been freshened up and have Amsoil since their rebuild. The flywheel and clutch are new Napa .

Everything on the A.C. system is new including the compressor ($1,250). The exhaust manifolds are new and it has new Flowmasters that are 2 weeks old . The radiator is a professionally reworked copper 3 row radiator backed up by 2 electric cooling fans for times of extended idling and the extra load of the A.C. compressor. This auction is for the wrecker only . Anything that you see on this wrecker that is not welded to the truck doesn't convey with the sale of the wrecker. I will sell anything on this wrecker to the winning bidder at a fair used price . I will also sell the truck turn key with everything that you see in the photos .The summer season of 2010 in this "bad" economy has far exceeded our expectations projections by double .I don't mind stating that this wrecker was built as a back up / parade truck and not as a primary . This truck has worked far more than I built it to do and I never planned on putting a full time driver behind the seat .I have another wrecker on the way in two weeks and truck # 7 has to go . This is a no reserve auction . The high bid will own this wrecker . It will be sold as true miles unknown as I live in a mileage exempt titling state .Current mileage is 85,520 and climbing . Today the truck has logged 379 miles in Marion and Dillon counties combined. This wrecker is not the worn out junk you see on Ebay . My towing company is making money and this wrecker shows it . I built this truck for up time in the field & old school style with no expense questioned . This wrecker is a light duty wrecker and will not do medium and heavy duty tows . These trucks can be beefed up in the rear spring area to prevent squat but I never did anything to it for fear of one of my drivers overloading the chassis . A set of supersprings would be the trick to prevent front end lift and rear end squat . All receipts will convey with this wrecker as most wear items on this wrecker are under still warranty . Fly in and drive this one home . It recently made a round trip to and from South Florida with no issues . This wrecker will stay in service until auctions end . At that time it will have all lettering removed , a full detail , and professional body shop paint touch up on the working end of the truck . This wrecker was helping during an accident winch out 2 hours before photos . The frayed cable in the photos will be repaired if it doesn't get done before the sale date .
