Re: Bought this yesterday.... 1953 4100 Wrecker...

that is a nice set up. I would be wary of the checker plated decks, they are very slippery when wet. they do skid a car across easily if it is dead though, just dump a bucket of water on the deck first and Bob's your uncle, slips right on. install a winch at the front and some HD load eye's along the sides so a car can be dragged on with the winch and then if it isn't quite right the winch line can be strung through the eyes on the side of the deck to bring the car over to one side or the other. also, a slightly curved ramp makes it easier to load low slung cars because it levels out the transition from beaver tail to ramp.
