Post by: bluerex on March 09, 2009, 09:56:22 PM: I'm sitting on the bumper of our f650 cat/allison with f550's on either side and a couple '09 f350 auto loaders out back. No pics though. It's dead tonight.

Post by: darkelvis on March 09, 2009, 09:57:15 PM: My hat is off to the people that tow....I used to work at a shop that had a tow truck but no official wrecker driver, it was just whoever took the call took the tow and I HATED IT. I'm glad I don't work there anymore (wreckers are on a 12+ hr wait today...go to weather.com and look up fargo, nd). Anyway we had a 94 ford F350 duty with the 460 in it.

my old rig was the same setup, predator chipped it would haul double loaded 2 full size cars @ 75 mph over the mountains.
