I wonder if this is the same ramp truck?

Picture won't show from original post, but the Corvette from back on Page 20. This was also a Gledhill sponsored racer.

WW!
Here's a closer up color pic also the B/W shots from page 20.
Are you saying the truck in your pic is already confirmed as one of the Gledhill rigs?

Different mirrors between the two; the Gledhill truck has white painted grille and bumpers; the truck above has chrome bumper and stainless trim.

The truck above has white paint on the hood which the Gledhill truck does not have.

The mirrors are not period correct and the door looks to have a mount for the correct mirror.
Do to the age of the truck I would expect a repaint. The bumper and grill could have been changed.
One would have to see the truck in person to see what other clues might be present.
There is rear box on this truck but it could have been added. There appears to be blue paint under the white deck paint.
Great truck would love to have it in my driveway!!

Yep, mirrors/paint etc probably updates over the years otherwise it's sure a lot like the Gledhill rig.
Besides color also both being 67's, the decks and front box looks exact including recessed side marker lamp locations also whether built by Crown, Proctor, Scott or another conversion company, not many Crew Cabs were made each year so a very good chance this could be it.
If for sale, it's worth digging for more clues/history as the Gledhill truck would look awesome restored w/ one of the AIR Team L88's back on board.
On w/ the show, here comes more including a few old road racing rigs too.
