Tow trucks from back in the day

I just found this site with a lot of cool old tow trucks and ambulances from back in the day in Sweden and felt I needed to share.

Not all are 67-72 but still cool, here's some examples and a link, hope you find your way through the Swedish.
There are also other vehicles than Chevy/GMC.

Re: Tow trucks from back in the day

Cool pics, looks like they made tow trucks out of lots of different vehicles (Land Rovers?). There's definitely a few trucks on that page I'd love to have. Thanks for posting the link!
