Twin booms....that allows for some "special" recovery work. Nice. I love wreckers...always have.

When I was a kid, dad subscribed to Popular Mechanics, Popular Science and Mechanics Illustrated. I think it was a PM magazine that had an article about a Mercer Raceabout that had belonged to Buster Keaton (Keystone Kops), and when found it had been used as a wrecker. I enjoyed the article and always remembered it as being proof that you can restore just about anything. So, while it made a neat wrecker, it was too valuable to be left that way.
