Better pictures of the 70's tow truck I posted some time back:

59257

59256

59255

59254

59253

59252

59251

59250

59249


Speedometer is in miles, so it's 73-76. I think vehicles here in Canada had speedometers in kilometers in '77. I know the shop owner where the truck lives, so I asked for permission to take all of these.

I was flipping channels with my morning coffee and spotted this blast from the past. The Hoff and Pam with the banana Ranger.

We actually have a member on here that ended up with a baywatch Ranger. I think it was from a movie though.

I've tried very, very hard not to estimate how many dollars I've spent over the last few years per mile actually driven in the '99.

Never try to calculate the cost of ownership on a project car. Unless your @Rick W you probably will never like the answer.
