Dave, Check out my webshots albums, on the links below, & you'll see my Vintage Holmes Wreckers. That truck of yours would look great, with a period correct Holmes Wrecker unit, with "Chariot" style service body, then add a modern cable operated wheel lift like Alex the mader has, & you're good to go, as far as towing late model vehicles. I've added a Kooima Kar Karrier cable operated wheel lift, as Alex has, on my 1988 Holmes 600 Wrecker. It works great. You'll also see I had the same Kooima Wheel lift on the Petty Blue F*rd F700 Holmes 600 I had. You'll see a rear view shot of it, on my webshots. The good thing about these old twin boom mechanical Wreckers, is you can do much more with them, than tow cars. i've split my booms, & pulled them to the side to pull engines, lift heavy objects, etc. i never liked the looks of a modern Wrecker unit, on a Vintage Truck.
