*UNDER CONSTRUCTION* 1953 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 ton-previously abandoned resto. My Project BoltI hate when people leave their brains at home. Seriously when did critical thinking and customer service go out the window? How about common sense and striving to go the extra mile? Idiots, surrounded by idiots it tell you.

My boys (3 and 5) and I were playing with the booms and winches until my wife yelled at us to come in at dark tonight. BIG FUN!

Here is pics of mine, comming home this weekend. Can you tell me anything about the wrecking gear ? http://s1067.photobucket.com/albums/u429/JRYERSE/ | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy BIGJIM71, nice looking 36 project, the wrecker looks similar to my Holmes 515, good luck with it | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | WOW!, BIGJIM71, That looks like a Ernest Holmes model 485. Can you find a Serial no. plate on the right side of the wrecker boom mast. The model 485 units were built from Jan. 1931, until June 1935, only 139 units built. There was a model 490 built from March 1934, until April 1949, but the 490's had webbed booms. I've owned 3 Holmes 515's, 2 Holmes 525's, 1 Heavy Duty Holmes W35, 1 Heavy Duty Holmes W45, & 4 Holmes 600's. | | |
