The truck is a white 1995 Chevy C/K 1500 with license plate HHD 6123. Winkle is asking for help locating it.

“Most of my money is going into paying tows,” he said. “I paid, over the last four months, I paid over $2,000 in tows.”
As reported on News Center 7 at 5:00, he’s also had his debit card stolen out of his mail.
“They cleaned out almost the entire account,” he said.
He hopes to resume his ministry work once he gets his truck back.
