Found a 5-ton wrecker
Before I begin, I didn't have a camera and I have an antique cell phone. I found a wrecker yesterday in a guys bus yard. It is in pretty bad shape. The guy claims he was using it 3-4 years ago. Asking 2500 for it and said that the price is FIRM. Said he would rather it sit and wrought than sell for less. I do not know what these are worth, but this one would need a **** of a lot of tlc. My opinion is it is worth parts. The best part is that it is hidden and I have probably driven past it 3-500 times. Probably could have saved it before it got into this condition.

is it a gasser, or diesel? Gasser isn't worth as much, unless it's a 2 1/2ton truck.
Could be a M816 on the other hand, which would be well worth the money. Grab the camera and post pics, someone here can tell you what it is.

Is the air cleaner assembly on the passenger's side or driver's side. If it is the former, it is either a multifuel or a Mack...if it is the latter, it is an M816.

Why would a gasser wrecker, like an old M62 or M543, not be worth $2500? Are the engines THAT bad?

I should have paid more attention, I just assumed it was diesel. The exhaust stack came in the rear of the cab. Passengers side. Guys this thing is in bad shape.

If the exhaust stack is at the back of the cab, wouldn't that make it a gasser? I thought all the diesels were front of the cab.
