Pictures of DRW trucks, work’n trucks, etc…

[tarussell]

I’ve always liked the look of almost any type of DRW truck and thought it would be cool to have a place to collect these truck pics - most of these are just off the internet and some from in person.

Please post up ANY DRW truck no matter how pretty or down right butt-ugly - all are welcome !
Extra points if they are 4WD.

Good thread.
For your consideration, my old dually.

I drove a ‘78 Chevy 4WD wrecker while turning wrenches from ‘89~’94 and loved driving it - the added driver finesse and skill ya’ acquire while driving a tow truck truck in TIGHT spaces-n-places is amazing.
Especially while off road with another truck in tow in granny-low just chugg’n and lugg’n try’n to keep traction and not dig down in the soft sand and/or mud.

Let’s see them wreckers & tow trucks !

BONUS : Four of these tow trucks were used in movies and/or TV shows - which ones are these and what’s the movie/TV shows?

Very NICE - details on the running gear ?
From what I’ve read on all your threads you don’t leave much of anything stock.

Went over the pic limit on the tow truck post.

In honor of obijuanK5’s FINE ‘83~’84 ( ? ) K-30 lifted and look’n good here are a few more in that level of 1-Ton greatness.

And a few of them BIG trucks that were built for no other reason but to get the job done !

This one was many years ago before I really started messing with it. 454/400/205 60/70 3.73.
It was the first truck with the intention of getting a 5.9 swapped in. This is from 2009 or so and I bought a 94 dodge donor for 2500 bucks and it was too good of a truck to tear down.


Here’s when my father in law had his 88 dually flatbed down at the coast with us. That was a tbi454/nv4500/205

@kennyw - if I’m not mistaken isn’t this that same truck of yours ?
I’ve gotta ton of pics in a file and can’t remember where they all came from.

Here's my set up.

A few more stragglers from my picture file of DRW trucks.

That damn good look’n guy next to that hideous convertible K-30 crew cab ( at the ‘95 Indy Jamboree ) is a 25 year old TARUSSELL - my how times have changed…

I think that maroon crew cab belongs to someone here, I think it caught fire.

Ohh damn - that’s a nice truck!
Maybe they will see this and tell us what happened - I hope it was salvageable.

Iirc, there’s a build thread with details. I believe cab and front clip were badly damaged and the guy was building another truck from the salvageable parts.
