Bill Jenkins Chev ramp truck from the past
Question .. everybody must remember Bill Jenkins famous ramp truck from the 70.s that carried most of his late 60.s camaros / then prostockers ... last known owner of the truck after Bill sold it & went to enclosed hauler was Paul Mayo outa Columbus area to haul his Oldsmoble Stockers.. Paul passed away few years ago & question is does anybody know where abouts of the truck now .. a guy is building one of Bill.s prostockers as a tribute car and thought maybe to possibly buy truck to complete the restoration .. any ideas

Re: Bill Jenkins Chev ramp truck from the past
I owned Bill Jenkins red with white top ramp truck. It had a bed added when I bought it from a seller in Findlay,Ohio in the late 70’s. Unfortunately it was stolen outside my warehouse in Roseville,Mi in approximately 1983. It was a great truck-no rust, factory a/c and a new motor. I am still pissed every time I think about the theft. The hauler was used to tow Don Nicholson’s 1971 Pro Stock Maverick which I owned for nearly 30 years. If anyone knows the whereabouts of the Maverick, please reach me!
