1986 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Car Hauler Ramp Truck

1986 Chevy Car Hauler Ramp Truck 19' bed with 65" dove tail and19"x 62" slide out ramps. The ramps are locked in position and can never fall out. Bed originally built and installed by Herrin welding of Kilgore Texas. He built and installed these beds long before Hodges beds were ever heard of. These beds at time of installation cost $10,000 but this one has the electric hydraulic tow boom/wheel lift attachment which was right around $14,000 installed. I rarely move more than 1 car at a time and the wheel lift set up has long since disappeared. I can give you some real clean easy to read drawings to build one like the original ones if you want to make one. Herrins' son is still in business in Texas but I don't think he makes anything for these beds any longer. He only makes the Western Hauler beds.
The 454 engine in this truck was taken out of a wrecked low mile motorhome along with the transmission. My truck speedo showed almost 40K and the motorhome had 39K on it, so miles on my speedo are almost identical to actual motorhome miles. I replaced everything when I did the engine swap. That includes, fuel pump, 1 wire electronic HEI distributor, brand new just released Edlebrock latest carburater, water pump and all tune up parts. I took truck to Les Schawb Tires in Hemet, California and had them replace entire front end suspension parts which included upper and lower complete "A" arm assembly's, new rotors, calipers and pads. I also had them install new rear wheel cylinders and HD brake shoes, spring kits and seals. Have receipt close to $2000 which included 4 brand new rear10 ply tires.
Front tires have about 800 miles on them. It has a12,000 lb Wireless Remote winch, ice cold Factory Air conditioning. The AC pump was just replaced and entire AC system serviced with 1 year warranty included.
Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Tilt Wheel Power Steering. Factory "Big Dooley" commercial specs listed on spec sheet in glove box. AM/FM/CD works real good.
All interior is original except it has a new factory replacement seat cover, new grill, 4 new LED headlights which will blind you on high beam. Replaced all dash lights with high brightness led's. New cab lights, new repro side trim.Complete new exhaust system and mufflers.
Paint is 5 or 6 years old but still looks okay. You cannot take this truck anywhere that someone wants to ask you about it or yells at you on the freewa, "COOL TRUCK" with lots of thumbs up.
Please take a look at the Hodges bed haulers and compare it to this truck. Hodges haulers copied Mr. Herrin but comes no where near the quaility and HD construction of this truck. Notice the one piece rolled edges and the heavy guage side doors, not to mention the hydraulic stinger verses Hodges lightweight winch lifted boom. Hodges trucks are no doubt beautiful, but can never compare to Herrin Welding car hauler beds.... These beds are super rare and very hard to find. I am retiring from the business and am selling off two of these trucks. It will be a while before the other truck is ready to sell but this one is the only flatbed model I have left anyways.. The other truck is an over the cab ramp truck built by Herrin also.
