Heres the picture I promised, it has the Holmes 480 on back. took it with my phone so its not the best pic.

thirdstreettito · 01-20-2009, 12:45 AM

Do you want me to upload all the pics I have? It'll take hours to go thru the pages I'll upload...

**special-K** · 01-20-2009, 06:33 AM

Just 67/72s and none already shown in this thread.Go for it!

63 & 64 Bowties · 01-20-2009, 08:57 AM

there's a member here from England who has a sweet old patina red wrecker, real long wheel base. I can't remember what year it is, it's a 60-66. He doesn't post much, maybe he'll see this.

I thought I added to this thread...guess not.

thirdstreettito · 01-20-2009, 02:13 PM

That was quite a bit eh!

**special-K** · 01-20-2009, 02:22 PM

Yeah,only a dozen or so are already shown in this thread.Great to see some new ones,though.Looks like you repeated some of your own,too.That`s one way to rack up 15 quick posts.

I love that yellow one in Post #60 & #61.Uh,check post#59

Mayo · 01-20-2009, 04:23 PM

One of my dads friends has a 68-72 C50 or C60 Rollback

I never repeated the same pic in my posts though, only more than 1 of each truck. I have more pics but the rest aren't 67-72's.

ameritowruston · 01-20-2009, 11:54 PM

Do you have a problem if I post some much older wreckers. late 40s or early 50s. I have several trucks I would like to post. I need to try and figure out how to post pics.

Thanks
Brad

**special-K** · 01-21-2009, 07:09 AM

You`re right bradley.I must have seen ml68Novas picture in the middle of your posts.How many are repeats of all the others.I was hoping you`d pass over the other two pages to see what`s already in the thread.People lose interest with redundancey and this guy started a good thread that deserves full interest.

Hey ameritowruston,Might as well.Let`s at least keep them earlier than `72.These threads are supposed to be year specific and general stuff in...General Discussion.But,it`s mostly the right years.It`s not like we don`t like other years,right?

63 & 64 Bowties · 01-21-2009, 08:08 AM

Not a 67-72, but just too cool not to post. It belongs to member 296Moon from London, England.

ameritowruston · 01-21-2009, 10:40 AM

I hope this works. I am new to the boards and I hope these pictures help to break the ice.
Thanks

I know they are older but someone will love to see them.

Those are some nice trucks. I like the red one and the COE is really cool.

2manyprojects · 01-24-2009, 02:35 PM

Here's my 65 used to be a ramp truck ,and a 66 wrecker I'm looking at buying. I'm trying to work out a deal to get the 70 GMC rollback , but not positive on that one yet. I am looking for a ramp or rollback bed for the 65 if anyone knows of one.

**special-K** · 02-01-2009, 09:32 AM

Nice mirrors^

That`s a really cool COE.That`ll be a classy wrecker.

70BLAZERX2 · 12-15-2010, 08:53 PM

here is one more pic..my 69 CST/30 rollback with a load on it.Its the 2nd pic

1st pic is one i found on here somewhere.I wonder if that vette ever broke the back window out?...LOL
