[paul roncetti]

I bid it but will go no further

That's one beefy unit. A little overkill for my towing needs but I dig it. Got me a lottery ticket so lets see what happens lol

Here it is in High Point limber from Hanks Photos.

What it looked like before being converted to a wrecker. I believe it was originally owned by Durkin in Philly who replaced the V8 with a Cummins.

That is awesome. Whats that B behind it?

[Guest 45LMSWM]

Damn shame they took that beautiful tractor and stretched it into a wrecker. Hope they did the frame right. Super 10???

I'm pretty sure Durkin had (3) DM800 tri-axle tractors at the Ritchie Bros. Auction in Northeast, MD. I miss seeing their stuff out on the road.

Do you guys have any idea if this truck would be legal to work in Florida as far as weight regulations or any other issues ?

[BKrois]

My friend looked into that truck when FranRock Towing was selling it, there were some issues with the truck that were never fixed properly. It needs a $25k piece to properly fix it, plus you have to take the whole boom assembly off to do the repair. Look for cracked welds underneath

I agree,wreckers don't have much of a "shelf life" especially when abused,my cousin ran one of the biggest wrecker outfits in NJ at one time,and he replaced trucks at 4-5 years!...................................Mark

Anything is legal in Fl. Probably have to put a lift axle on it. and permit for length,and probably weight. shouldn't be any different then the big wreckers down there. Got a few 5 axles running around

what became of Highpoint? He used to advertise a lot on ebay. I purchased a DM800 from him and it was not a good experience!! But my fault so I just moved on.
