I like the Blazer and the black tow truck with air horns. BTW, the tow truck has 1970 Super Bee hood scoops on it.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 wrecker, fire, ambulance, etc?
I thought you'd never ask.... from 1990 to 1995, I owned Cowboy Towing in Stillwater OK. I sold it and its still going (although they have retired all the squares). My fleet consisted of a 1988 FI 454 w/a Holmes 175 bed, a 1982 Chevy 454 w/ a Century 442 bed and wheel lift, and my personal truck was a '73 350 w/ a Holmes 480 bed and an electric over hydraulic wheel lift. I made every call in the '73 up to 1995.
I have had 4 or 5 squares over the years, but these trucks sealed my love of them.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 wrecker, fire, ambulance, etc?
how similar is a homes 480 to a 475? my father drove a 78 k-30 with a 475, he always claimed it was a rare model and not many made, and overkill for a 1ton. they used it to haul huge motorhomes...wish i had picture of it, but heres some others from back in the day

i am not too familar w/ the 475. it may be rare. generally the Holmes numbers were 440 single line for 1 ton 480 twin line 1 ton 500 2 ton 600 2 ton 750 HD for a twin screw
