Re: square boy tow trucks

Chief Bail's wrecker is by far one of the nicest on this site, Super nice guy to talk to and has some videos of his truck in service.
Also there is another thread labeled fire truck, Tow trucks and Ambulances

My Dad used to own a Roll Back. Had a 6.2, and a 4-speed. I'll see if I can find a picture later.

Re: square boy tow trucks

I started a picture thread several months ago for square tow trucks/wreckers. We had several pages of them, but I can't find it now. Wish it had been sticky'd. Lots of nice trucks.
