PK Working outside is a pain. I am going to make this a working wrecker. With todays cars I can't tow them without damaging them. It just has a sling. I can tow trucks and older cars with real bumpers. Today you need a wheel lift or rollback. I will use it for my friends in need.

I was about 5 or 6 when dad would let me go with him. Being at the shop and making wrecker runs was a big part of my childhood. Now what I consider the good old days. I started working in our bodyshop at the age of 13, making wrecker runs before I had my drivers license, I quit at the age of 23, when my dad died. I became a firefighter and still am. I did go back for 4 or 5 years working for my dads twin brother.

68
I couldn't find any numbers on the shelf by the distributor. There are some mill or grinder marks there.

I ordered my metal (for bed patches) today and it will be ready for me to pick it up tomorrow.

Thank you all for looking and responding.
