Mongo, I never did get any larger , more in focus photos, of that Wrecker. I may have some others saved up, that I can send you though. Any photo I ever put out here, or email to anyone can be posted, if anyone would like. I'm still alttle computer illiterate. The other style Holmes Body, you posted is a plateform body. They actually first appeared in late 1950 on the new Holmes 650 units,that were replacing the Holmes W35, & W45's, but didn't totally replace the Chariot style bodies until 1957.
