I’m laughing my ass off my wife was raised by her grandparents and spent a lot of time in the garage with her grandfather who ran heavy equipment. As you’re asking what PTO meant she’s yelling power take off. When you were commenting on the greasy handprints on the hood she was yelling it’s a GD work truck a tow truck for Gods sake. Thank you for my afternoon entertainment 😂🤣

That's my kind of woman todd mills👌🏻👍👍👍👍👍👍

The big square "oil" tank is actually the tank for the hydraulic fluid for the bed and the wheel lift. The pull knob under the dash is to hold a high idle to operate the PTO (power take off)

I would personally keep it especially since you like to buy a lot of non-runners and it would be nice to haul too at a time 12,000 was a pretty good deal for it

You should definitely keep this truck and clean her up and use it for your CO part runs. Tune her up and freshen the lights up! It will be a pretty sweet rig man!

P. Power /T. Take./ O.Off. ingages the hydraulic pump that operates the winch and lift cylinder .

This tow truck's a keeper, especially for the Copart runs, fix it up nice, and it can haul the non-runners (and the run-and-drives) easy.

My question is where's the adult supervision anytime Randy and Mike are around each other things get interesting for sure 😂

Hey Randy, just my opinion, I think you might want to consider fixing it up and keeping it. You put maybe a couple two or three grand more into it, new serpentine belt, tune up, sort out the electrical issues, fix the hydraulic leak, new lug nuts on the wheels that need them, maybe a tire or two, and you’ve got yourself a great tow truck and one hell of a workhorse too. Just think of all the money you could save on delivery fees from not having to get vehicles delivered to you. Someone said to put a “NOT FOR HIRE” sign on the truck. I think that’s a good idea-I would put a sign like that on both sides. That way you don’t have to worry about getting commercial insurance, DOT inspection, an MC number, none of that. Over time, the money you save on delivery fees will eventually start covering at least some of what you put into the truck. There are tow trucks that are only wheel lifters (that don’t have the aluminum bed that yours has) that go for $50,000 and up depending upon how they’re equipped. So if you ask me, I think you got a great deal on that truck. Congrats, brotha!😊😊😊

Thanks!! Great idea!

Great video. I would love to see you towing your new cars from COPART with this truk. It will be double interesting, like 2 videos in 1, jajaja. Good luck Randy and Mike.

That should be the AR rescue truck!!! 👌👌👌 keep it Randy!!!! 🫡👌👌👌💪💯

Randy I spent many years running these very trucks but with repo lifts. 12k is a pretty good deal, esp with 194k miles on it. You could pull the bed and hydros and get nearly what you paid for it. I would look the Eng/Trans over hood chances are pretty good one or both have been replaced. Biggest issues with those trucks are wiring gremlins and the king pins wearing out, thus why the steering is like that.

Randy U need a multi function switch to fix the turn signals hazards and wipers my 2000 Silverado had the same issue that’s why the screw is in there if u move it the right way the signals will work just be careful don’t let the screw pop out

I’ve owned 4 of those OBS Chevy/GMC trucks and I absolutely love them. My first car was an 89 Chevy 1500. My favorite was my manual 1994 GMC K1500

That's a pretty good deal, keep it fix it up and use to tow, you get cars that don't run. Saves money for tows

You can haul two cars with that rollback. It would be rather useful & worth fixing the few broken things on it for content in my opinion

@sixtee5cuda98

Absolutely! "Rollback doesn't do anything I can't do with the TRX and trailer." Oh? They can haul 2 cars at the same time?

I’m proud of you keep the dreams coming true.

Just need to get someone who knows about them to show you everything and how it works. Pretty sure it has a wheel lift on back so you can haul two vehicles at once. It’s definitely a good buy at that price

You got a fair deal on the tow truck. I would keep it so you could haul 2 cars at a time.

I love it!!!!! My daily driver is a Chevy c3500, 350/ 5 speed. 363k I’d drive that truck anywhere anytime, just take a little longer to get there😂 and park it.

I was really hoping to see some mulit sequence red leds in that light bar. You can find some cheap light bars online. Get a universal code runner, replace the halogens and give us another night video!! Awesome truck!!

That's a good deal Brandy you should keep it

pto is a power take off its just a hydraulic pump to run hydraulic functions and those hooks are called j hooks. the hooks hook to the suspension on the car for pulling. the gmc seems like a decent rig

12k is more than this is worth but its too late now

Always have a tow truck around especially with what you do.

That rig is so cool and useful to have!

Randy you have the stinger on it so you could haul 2 cars at once !! When ya go to the auction you could haul 2 cars and make the trip worth while !

Monkey Wrench Mike's wheezy laugh is the best.

You made my day when the windshield wipers got stuck it was funny

Keep it you will need it, the kind of work you do Sir. Stay safe and be blessed always

Love the truck get it road worthy belts oil indicators then sell it after having some fun .

You definitely got good deal, I am a tow truck driver in Sacramento California and I run a 2018 international 4300 flatbed with 285k miles already and it’s still worth about $70k

Two of the quirky features of this GMC are (Doug Dermiro) the most interesting of all ever found on a truck. They are called Randy and Mike. They both will make you smile, make you think, make you want to cry at times but still make the show a favorite of mine. I give it a "Doug Score of Perfect" First time ever seen from him. lol

i personly would love to see it used for hauling some cars before you sell it! and i think you got a okay deal not the best but not the worst! good luck randy i know you can fix it up with your magic cause it seems like a good truck with many years of service left in it i can't wait to see what you do with it!

If you get it fixed that would be a keeper for the non runners to get them home. Body looks good

You got a deal on the roll back would cost a lot more in south Carolina good luck

Randy, I can walk you thru anything on a rollback. I can answer your questions, for instance that belt is special, not one you can get at a local auto parts store usually.

You should definitely keep this. It would be cheaper to haul cars with this

"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more ”..with the dynamic duo of youtube

Randy keeps a bunch of surprises and I love it lol

I love the tow truck!!

Randy, that tow truck is amazing. I love it 💯

Those tow trucks, like cop cars are run for a lot of hours but usually meticulously maintained. I love it

This is the video I’ve been looking for and it came from AAR. that’s why I love ya. & this is a keeper for real this is one you don’t sell

Power Take-Off, or PTO, gives a truck versatility beyond its usual function of providing transportation for materials. It directs power to the auxiliary equipment to perform work at the site and/or enroute

I like 90s cars so I think I would trust that truck And the car wizard said those engines are very very good.

Hi Randy I recon you will make 15grand on that truck it’s nice and clean and tidy to add modern to

Well Randy,,,, Spent about 30 minutes looking at used roll backs for sale web sites,, (there are a lot of them),,,, And in my opinion You have paid what your truck is worth,, Another responder suggested that you keep it for hauling 2 vehicles at a time, I think that we all would like to see you make the few cosmetic and superficial repairs that it needs,, new tires,,, and maybe let your detail guy play with it,, Good video content there,, And something different to look at for a change,, plus is hard to go wrong with a square body chevy,, You and monkey wrench mike have great chemistry together,, Keep it up,,, :-)

Cool rollback. I love that era of GM too, I had a 97 extended cab 1500 z71 and did a lot of work to it myself over the years I had it. It was about 250k on it when I bought it and about 350k on the odometer when I sold it, still roasted the tires.

Very good buy, little love to her, she will take you to California 3 or 4 time. Never thought a old truck.

You gotta call this the Hooptie Hauler Randy!!!! 😂🤘🏽🔥

The tow truck is cool! I'd like to see more.

Oh my 😂 great video!

The tow truck has wheel lift on the back where you can pull 2 at one time? I think if you put "Not For Hire" on it might be in the clear?

That is a winner. Nice unit to keep for personal use

this would be the dream tow rig, this is super cool man, id love to own this

I think you got a great deal. Fixing it up won't take much then you have something nice to haul around the crap you get at CoPart.

I say keep it because it looks cool and then you can use it for vehicles that you win!

Wipers on this gen GM pickup is a common problem. Had the same issue with my 3500. It's all over google.

Definitely a keeper !!

love u guys individually and together.(still laughing about the “hot” Mercedes😂).

Before spending 26 years in a semi I drove tow trucks. Nice rollback brother ..... I'm loving it

So funny, had the same problem with my wiper/turn signal stock switch on my 94 Topkick !

Randy, it's a fair price considering the condition of the bed. It probably needs a new multifunction switch.

I know that this video was about the tow truck. But I noticed that maxima sitting behind it and I’m considering getting one so that’s definitely a video I’m looking forward too.👏

Loved the video man. I would fix the turn signals, wipers, and replace the belt then see how it halls a car at least once before you sell it.

Pretty good deal actually for that GMC. I would try and clean it up and maybe sell it for more since it could be valuable and has a working flat deck on it. Once everything is working again it could bring more honestly. Keep up the great videos👍.

I'm pretty sure the bed on that is worth a good bit of your purchase price for the whole truck.

Here's what I'd do. I'd get this truck mechanically sound, get everything fixed, give it a tune-up. Then take it to Maaco and have them paint it. Put it back up for sale and you'll get every penny back and more for it. Hell, you could even paint it that Pull Me Over Red that you like so much.

That will make a great addition to the channel

Fun find! Fix and flip.

Decent looking tow truck 😊

If you decide to keep it I would put NOT FOR HIRE stickers on the doors so people don't think your in service.

You don't need those

When you and Mike get together, it's like two middle schoolers but I like it. Entertaining..

We had a 2001 gmc rollback we bought with our dt466 international and surprisingly it came with the 8.1 vortec never knew those existed till that day

Randy on any/every car there is an arrow beside the gas gauge that points to which side the gas is. love ur vids man been subscribed to u since the start u never disappoint keep doin what ur doin

It's a nice truck I hope it's easily fixed up, those are the ones we use in Jamaica because of the corners not trailers

I like it! Easier then hooking up a trailer all the time. Needs the multi-function switch on the column then wipers and directionals should work. Great price. If you keep it you can start a new channel. Auto Auction Repo!

You need to find the bars for the wheel lift "stinger" on the back if they are not in the toolbox or behind the seat. You can tow 2 vehicles easy with that rig. I grew up with my dad and grandfather owning a body shop and junk yard for over 50 years just get that leak fixed

When you said look at that belt, there was a loud chime and I thought I was watching a movie lol 😂

Absolutely love these videos, thank you Randy for making them 👍

You Guys together are The Dynamic Duo both of you have Various opinions on cars Which is why I watch from Australia for the your opinions Great work Can you please find a Studebaker at Co Part 😃

Replace switch for turn signal on steering column may take care of horn,turn signal,wiper and 4 way flasher button.

Cool truck

I used to drive one of those when I worked for a local tow company and they are easy to operate and it looks like not all the lights are working properly and there should be some behind the grill to

It a real nice ride reseal the piston use as a backup to the Trx

I'm over here waiting patiently for the videos of the giveaway winners. Lol but I love the videos that have been coming out recently.

Randy, you and Magic Mike are a hoot together. Seriously funny theory of mine is you guys buy these red-light specials for our shear entertainment. At least if you break down Magic Mike could just tow you home. 🤣😂😅 🐸

I love the red and white obs have one identical to it

I think you got a fair deal I think it's worth the money everything works

PTO = (Power Take Off) and yes i think 12k was a bit much you can find the for 6k to 15k with nothing wrong with them. the expensive tow trucks are the ramp truck around here that are really high prices. and the black bar rear bumper looking thing is a wheel lift the trx would have fit on it. thanks for sharing

I think You should fix this tow truck up, completely! I get what you were saying about the TRX and trailer but this thing is cool and would be an awesome rebuild

Nice video

whoever is doing your thumbnails is killing it!

That thing is gold rn for tow companies 😆

Perfect to pick cars up copart without not follow home with someone save time trip

Winner either way here🎉🎉🎉

I like it I think that’s a good price for it and think with the roll back you can load your own and don’t have to worry about the fork trucks tearing up stuff on the vehicular you just purchased

12k is a little high. Need a medium duty tow truck like a international or Peterbilt with the wider bed. You can put your company name just put not for hire on the side. But I don’t know how that stuff works in your state.

I had one of these wish i had never sold it they are worth keeping just freshen it up .
