PIoneer 3-5275 Did your telephone number begin with a word? Those a decade or more younger than I am are already stymied by this question. The first two letters of the name were generally capitalized, and corresponded directly with the first two digits of the telephone number on the dial. This system started sometime in the 1930’s, and slowly crept across the continent, and lasted until the early 1960’s. More about the 60’s later is this story; and read the last paragraph request before throwing this story in the recycle bin, please? The first phone number for Burrows Garage was 10M, as you can see in the photo of the building circa 1933. Incoming calls t…

1979 Ford F800, Holmes 600, with long wheelbase "Continental" service body. You don't find one owner, low milage, well kept equipment like this often. It still had all of it's original paperwork, a d manuals, in the glivebox. It was spec'd, a d purchased new from Auto Equipment Inc., (New Holmes Wrecker Distributor)of Statesville, N.C. in August of 1978. Runs good, and all I need to do is fix the pro cable.

Topic Originally Created by Ameritowruston on Tow411 in September of 2008: I bought this truck off ebay last week. I saw one that spanky had and I wanted one. When this one showed up I knew it was the one. It was fairly close and it was in great shape, with two owners. It is a 48 GMC 350 cabover with a W35 holmes bed. The truck is great and I hope to make it run this weekend. I have had no time to play with it because of the hurricane. I have plans to restore the truck back to its orginal form but it will take me a while. I took some pictures of the stuff in the toolboxes hoping someone would know what it is. Spanky you asked for it so here it is. Also in the …

Topic Origially Created by an unknown member in 2008: I found this not long ago and I know it is still there. I'm sure this is to heavy for my roll back or I would have bought it by now. Anyone have any idea what this may weigh? Anyone near Springfield Missouri coming near Rockord that wants to haul this...lol let me know. Note: This is from 2008 Ameritowruston said: You had better jump on that and get it. Those trucks are very hard to find and when you do find one it will be expensive, believe me. I just bought one that is just a little newer and it is posted on here take a look at it. If you don't get it l…

This truck and another just like it were specially built... The front tunnel boxes were cut in half and the crane was pushed forward to the back of the cab... The rear axle was also pushed rearward as far as possible... The control boxes were notched for the wheel openings... The body was so far forward they notched out the body corners for the exhaust... The booms had to be pulled out 1 notch just to be square with the tailgate... Double rail chassis and a fish-plate to the r…
