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

If it’s the same truck your talking about a guy named Dale Grahner bought
the enclosed truck. He’s from Buffalo, NY.

Pistol pete .. the truck I.m searching for is Bills trusty open ramp that had been across the country many times with superstockers & early prostockers ... yes later years he did have a Oleynick enclosed hauler

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!
