Kind of doubt it's the get unstuck vehicle for a mud park. I don't know much about tow trucks but I kind of doubt that boom and line is heavy enough, most mud parks seem to use a big front loader or bulldozer. With a sbc, my vote is it's someone's mud park cruiser built out of what was cheap, available and cool.
I agree an off-road recovery vehicle would be cool. Was actually watching YouTube and came across BSF Recovery team (?pretty close I think) who ran a cool squarebody 4x4 dual rear wheel wrecker that was surprisingly capable and often did exactly what you mention. Go into the woods wheeling, come out towing a jeep or other wheeler. I'd be happy with a normal 2wd street 67-72 wrecker though. Keep eyeing a 65 near me, wondering if the old man will ever let er go.
