The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 525 Holmes wrecker on my 58 GMC

While on the subject of West Coast Wreckers, seeing how the major Manufacturers, were no where near the West Coast, two large Truck Shop/Towing Businesses, went into producing their own Wreckers, and had a small number of outside customers. Will, and Tex Freeman, of Continental Towing, and Don Heins, of South Union Body Works, and later D&M Enterprises. Each company had their own style, but they were all called "Big Stick" wreckers. Pictured below is a Continental version on the left, and a South Union version on the right. There is a Facebook page called, "West Coast Big Stick Wreckers", that is very interesting.
