I don't know this guy personally, but I've been to his lot several times. Here's one of my loads I picked up the pick up there and the Ski was supposed to go in the back of the truck. That didn't happen cuz of all the debris from 2 wrecked cars in the back of it, so I had to improvise, with a broken ski trailer that I picked up in Durant. Used Straps to hold the trailer together and keep it from buckling and dragging the ground. A bit sketchy but it made it to OKC off of SE 15th Street.

Yup, I know ol' Talkington. I bet you were a little puckered pulling that down the interstate!I don't know this guy personally, but I've been to his lot several times.

Puckered was an understatment. Tighter than a knats ass I promise. Worst part was I couldn't see the Ski in my mirrors and just has to hope that trailer was staying together. I loved that drive Durant and Ardmore. I usually went down South and got 2 and then coming back with 2 loaded down the Arbuckle Mountain and just let that Pete eat all the way through that long curve at 84mph. That thing handled like a sports car loaded with 2.

Unless he's expanded, I beleive all he does is light and medium duty. Hopefully he's not in on that feud for the heavies.

I don't know that much about the towing business. I'm just glad I don't have to keep the hours a lot of y'all do.

Lol. I'll find that out the hard way, thank you. Honestly, I'm still torn about the brush guard and grille combo. It just seems like a lot of chrome tubing on top of chrome tubing. I kind of wonder what it would look like with a stock grille behind the brush guard.not gonna look good with a business sign on the side and that brush guard on it. what you want for it?lol nice truck man.
The PO made this truck out of two. He had an older 1 ton Western Hauler truck that got totaled in a storm. Then he went out and found this truck with a seized 350 and swapped out the engine. The grille and brush guard came from that Western Hauler.
What do y'all say? Keep the aftermarket grille or go to something different?

Great Pic. I like the truck too. Shoulda never mentioned I have access to a tow truck.
I wouldn't be the one with it anyway, I want mine in a 4x4.

Little busy with all the horizontal bars. I would 86 the brush guard and just put an OEM Bowtie on the tube grill.
