Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
Thanks Bill, I'm not very good at all with computer stuff, heck if it don't have nuts and bolts I'm pretty much useless LOL.
My son and I built "Big Ernest" a couple of years ago and he sure earns his keep, I'm proud of the ole boy, sometimes I work the crap out of him and he keeps on chugging!! Coop

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
This thread is back from the dead. My wife saw this rollback in town today. Supposedly it was last painted 28 years ago. It has a 402 big block and factory AC. I wish I could have seen it in person.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
Wow , very cool . The green Holmes 440 with the tapered sides on the body is a sonic body . Came out in 79 or 80 . My 1st wrecker was a 69 gmc with the 18" wheels , tach , buddy seat & a Holmes 220 ( same as 440 but electric winch ) then a 66 50 series with a Holmes 500 & the rest is history . This year is the 100th anniversary of Holmes & I'm still playing with wreckers ! Lol.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
I've been MIA from the forum for a while now. Stopped by to see what going on. I'm in the towing business now. I would love to have a fleet of nothing but vintage tow trucks. How sweet would that be?
junksaver , you better hold on to that woman!

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
My Dads 70 c30. Bought as a cab and chassis. Stretched 3 feet and custom ramp bed made to haul his camaro and other drag cars in the late 70s/ early 80s. I'm starting to make it road worthy again.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
I keep hoping i will find some pictures of mine from back in the day, the way it is setup i belive it was a race car hauler, interior was diamond tuck that was falling apart, had 74ish camaro/firebird buckets with stock truck console(cpuld have been a later add on).
Truck was originally a dark green color and i believe started life somewhere around indianapolis before making its way to washington. Habe a pile of receipts for work done before it came to washington. If anybody recognizes it or knows the truck id love to hear some history. Ot was a factory a/c cab too.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
Nice one! Looks like it's a C40.
I on't know how I missed all the tow trucks from Sweden. Thanks for sharing, 68 50th. I really enjoyed seeing those.
