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.

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.

no pictures, but i too am a tower.  the technical term is recovery specialist.  its my job to pick up all the stripped out cars from hilltop tacoma.  i can pull some nasty snatchs too.  like pull your car out of a parking spot from a 90 degree angle.  yeah, dont double park in my hood, ill impound your shit.

Il have to take a better pic later, this is the ONLY one I could find that had the truck in it. You can see it behind the Camry there.

Its NOT mine, it belongs to a friend. Basically, its just home brewed madness.

As far as I remember.

* 1971 Jeep J20
* SBC .... 305 I think
* I think its a bus transmission
* super old home made wrecker
* dana 70 rear axle
* dana 60 front axle
* pto driven winch for boom
* 4 wheel disc brakes
* "hydro box" green pain
* "GREEN BASTARD" windsheild banner



Me personally.... I just use my Accord and a tow bar to tow shit.
