I believe they started making the 47-55s not to long ago but us 47.1 and earlier guys are gonna have to make do without or make our own. We want pics! Welcome to the bolt!

I'm trying to see if the same guy I know, that reproduced the '47-'55 1st series COE step pads, can reproduce these. What type of wrecker unit, does your truck have on it. Got any pictures.

I have a wrecker boom lined up (holmes 515) and will make my own body. I have looked at pictures and sales lit. I also think it would be neat to toe my 46 chevy p.u. or 1916 signal truck to a meet. Not to up on the wrecker part, would the tow cradle be a good way to go? Pictures when I can talk my son into helping.I can fix trucks but a little slow on the comp.

Did you see the ones I have, in my webshots albums. You would be less likely to damage what you are towing, if a Tow Cradle is used,with the proper attachments, instead of the old tow straps. It would be neat if you could find an original Holmes service body to go with the 515 wrecker crane. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 584 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 584 | Hey Signal,
