THIS HAS BEEN MY SIX YEAR PROJECT. THE FIRST YEAR I REMADE EVERY SHAFT ON THE WRECKER PORTION AND THE STAINLESS STEEL HAND RAILS. FRANK AT THE INTERNATIONAL TOWING AND RECOVERY MUSEUM WAS A LOT OF HELP. WHEN I WAS REBUILDING THE POWER TAKEOFF ON THE WRECKER I WAS A LITTLE UP SET TO FIND OUT THAT HOLMES USED MODEL T FERD DIFFS.TO POWER THE CABLES.THIS TRUCK WAS VERY ROUGH,A COUPLE YEARS AFTER I GOT IT MY WIFE AND OUR RELATIVES SAID THE DAY I BROUGHT IT HOME THEY THOUGHT I WAS INSANE. A LOT OF SHEET METAL AND BODY WORK NEW BRAKES,WIRING,MOTOR AND MUCH MORE.PICTURES TO FOLLOW. http://www5.snapfish.com/thumbnails...SHR/otsi=SALBlink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/

Chris, I understand prefectly well about the time. I spent 5 years on my 37 and I"m entering my 4th year on the panel so with all the work you've done I'd say "your moving right along" !!!
Welcome to the bolt. There are a few guys around the shop that and Wrecker guys to. I'm sure you'll find them.... if they don't find you first!!
Any pics of your project?? We like pics.

If it ain't a Chevy, It ain't nothin'.

WOW, as much as I did not want to register w/snapfish, the lead photo made it mandatory. I started driving at 15 when the old man would have me take our tow truck around the block and park it on the street again every 90 mins. to avoid parking tickets. That truck was about a '48 Diamond T with "power steering by Armstrong". Great C.O.E. wrecker...rare.

Wait 'til Billy Marlow sees this! Couldn't you picture Chris's wrecker pulling Billy's '46 COE ... not broken down mind you ... just as a cute couple.  Should get this in the Ga11ery today. Gotta get Paul to do some computer-magic on the server access. Peg
