I've been able to get a lot done to my 1952 GMC 470 series COE project this past 8, or 9 months. Swapped the Holmes Heavy Duty W35 Wrecker over from the 48 Chevrolet COE it was on, over to my 52 GMC COE.

The reason for the switch was that the GMC was a much better truck, than the Chevy, plus the Ernest Holmes installation catalogs suggested that the Heavy Duty model W35, and W45 Wreckers be installed on truck chassis of 2 1/2 tons, or larger. Of course that didn't always happen. My GMC, is a 3 1/2 ton truck. Thanks for the compliments.

Nice work, Spanky! Those Dayton adapters *are* nice! Have I seen them before?
