Cool story on the old wrecker, and love your hands on approach to tackling things.

Re: My C-30 w/Holmes wrecker adventure

Hi Everyone,

Since my posting about the jib crane I have made it out to our other place and dropped it off --- almost ready to go:

Name:  2-2-25.jpg
Views: 39

Snuggled in at its new home:

Views: 40

You may have noticed that I have the dolly wheels/tires, tow bar and sling and two of the hazard lights on the wrecker frame installed.

I'm preparing to soon do a photo shoot at a great place here in town. I think it looks cooler with all the bells and whistles.

I also got the flood lights back on today:

I left the lights on until we moved to our current home but pulled all the rest off pretty soon after getting this truck. For my use it was just in the way and the truck was more versatile w/o the clutter.

Re: My C-30 w/Holmes wrecker adventure

Hi Everyone,

The day after my last post, when I went to start the truck, this happened to the power steering dipstick:

Name:  3354~2-10-25.jpg
Views: 14

I started a new thread about it to get more exposure and maybe suggestions as to why it got so hot:

My planned photo shoot is out for the foreseeable future as I just can't keep pouring time into this truck.

I still have over 400 photos of my work this last year so I'll keep posting as long as they last.
