Nice to hop in the A/C after rolling around up and under trucks and dragging rigging around

Re: MD/HD Wreckers
It's been rare to see a Dodge wrecker around here. They just started selling them the last couple years at a local dealer (tow/roll back dealer)

Re: MD/HD Wreckers
It was a 3500 to begin with.The PO was towing a horse trailer(empty) and it got over on it's side real hard. we took 2 other cabs and used what we needed. The patches were stronger than factory. I tried to find my pics that I took but couldnt find them.
Imagine being cut on the drivers windsheid frame half way,3inches up on pass.side, and all the spot welds on the floor board and some on the rockers.I thought the wedsite was still up and running but its not.I was going to pull pics from there.You couldnt tell were the patches were tho.Everything lined up perfect. |

I'm liking these Top Kicks more and more as time goes by. The front end is like none other and so is the name. Love it or hate it,they stand out and ain't gittin' no newer

Re: MD/HD Wreckers
Even though I prefer the older style, they are like-able trucks. One thing though, that is not actually a Top Kick, but a Brigadier.
The main reason, or one of the reasons anyway, for the change was because of the Radiator. The new style was able to have a Larger Radiator which was more called upon with the different engines being offered. We should post a Top Kick picture. I would if I knew how to, lol. Same thing, even though I prefer the older style, they are also like-able trucks. Bill |

Re: MD/HD Wreckers
Nice example of a Heavy Medium. It happens to me too. The other day a guy showed a picture of his GMC 5000 with it labeled "63" in the post. I complimented him on it.
...it had a Flat Windshield. Bill |

found this one over the weekend, going back to try and make a deal, sorry about the bad pics, had to use the little panasonic, takes great video but bad stills.

Re: MD/HD Wreckers
Looks like a pretty good '65 C-30. I could use that around here. I've got one similar to it that I use as a yard truck, but it is not a GM product. Mine has a Holmes 440 on it.

Re: MD/HD Wreckers
if I'm not mistaken someone has already stole the holmes badges off the side of this one, does this look like a 440 or did they make a smaller one?
|
Re: MD/HD Wreckers
It is definitely the size of a 440, and is a Single Boom like a 440, but it has a different style Boom than mine does. My Wrecker Bed is a '69 Model. Look for a small ID Tag on the right side up near the cab.

Re: MD/HD Wreckers
It'll be a week or so before I can get back up there, big storm comming in right now, like to get up there so I can pick up my C70. Want to pull the browne out so I can see what size it is, I'll do more research on the wrecker then.
|
Re: MD/HD Wreckers
My Wreckmaster has that type of boom. Others used them,too. Mine is the only one I've seen with the straight side top bed,though,even other Wreckmasters. Look on the fairlead,mine says Wreckmaster on it,
