    Bought a 66 Dodge d300 wrecker and I need an ID on the wrecker which appears to much older than the truck. It's got a 5 ton Beebe manual winch and appears to be factory built. It has no marking anywhere that I can find. The truck was originally built as a motor home then was pulled from a junk yard in Alabama to be a watermelon truck. The guy that I got it from pulled the flat bed and found the wrecker and bolted it to the frame. The truck was used as a wrecker for several years before I found in a storage unit in Fl. Thanks.
