Wandered in, followed a link from another board
« on: December 15, 2010, 11:41:11 pm »
I'm Robert, user name Colotow, I use it everywhere so if you see it, it's me!
I bounce in and out of forums, anyone near here, might take a few days to see a message but I will be back! Towing, the hours can be a little strange at times.
I'm dragging my feet, not wanting to turn 50 soon, retired military. I"ve been running heavy duty wreckers for close to 14 years now, out of Denver for 10, then in Iraq as a contractor for a few. Now I live in Tooele, Ut, and driving for a tow company out of Salt Lake City.
Got a girlfriend, 2 dogs, and (after selling my old house) plans for a 1400+/- sqft shop/garage in the back yard.

I have a collection, 82 K2500 (bought it brand new) 81 K5, another 79 K5 in pieces, thinking about putting an old (but solid) 65 cab and stepside bed on it. working on all of them, 82 has a projection system that was great when it ran right, but it's been parked for several years, so still got a couple bugs to find and fix. K5 has a new engine, just never enough time to finish it and fire it up.

Also a couple diesels, 99 F350 (mine) and 01 F350 (girlfriends)
