    i wanna see how this turns out! those specs are close to what I'd be getting if I didnt already have my dream truck. Sounds like a good heavy spec, how heavy are these wrecks?

    its going go.... i bought a c16 for the wrecker.... mr haney is hooking me up with about 1000hp with his componets ...the wrecker will weigh about 56k with nothing hooked to it... but when i hook a loaded gas tank with 110k it will be nice for the hills around here ...with the aux an 2 speed rears it will pull anything its needs to
