ARE THESE DOUBLE FRONT BUMPERS THAT I KEEP SEEING IN THE PICS A FACTORY EXTRA OR A JUNKYARD OPTION? IF ANY ONE NEEDS ONE I KNOW OF ONE WITH THE HAND CRANK BRACKET ON IT. [A BIG FRONT BUMPER]

Chris, The doubled front bumpers on Wreckers were usually a Dealership option. Private Shops, usually scratch built there push bumpers, but Dealerships usually had Factory bumpers in there parts rooms, so doubling, them, or sometimes tripling them was pretty common, to achieve factory looking push bumpers. Here's an example, of one of mine, http://rides.webshots.com/photo/1116219281052570246sBgWOR
