That truck has been for sale for quite a while, he was talking about cutting it up if it wasnt sold by a certain date, well that date was a year ago. It takes some effort to continue to post on craigslist and take the random emails from whoville.

13speed is an odd transmission for a winch truck I would think.

Oh I am aware!! B Macks, Corn Queens, the old GM Series, Ford and Dodge. Roomier were the LJ LT Dogs, Petes, KWs, Stars and Cars. Got to where when got in the old Ford 750/850 GMs Bs and Corn Queens series would put a welding beanie or take off my ball cap as the Button on top would invariably be driven into my skull.

I dare say the old wagons were built for 5’6-8” men weighing in at less than 170lbs
Spring ride Bostrum seats
Armstrong steering
Really poor ventilation and heat systems
No insulation to speak of
Were some tough times

56 Diamond I drove as company wrecker was similar, then add a trans hand brake lever a Four speed tied to a Brownie jump seat if had one on a box or frame bolted to the floor
Same White style cab tiny cramped loud and off temp
