Get well soon Tommy.

I wonder what they were called before Fentron. We have a wrecker called a Twin Boom and the boom heads look identical. Ours is a 25ton unit. Dad told me they were made out west. The one we have is all mechanical I wonder if Fentron bought TwinBoom then built the hydraulic version. It's for sale.

Wow Mason Dixon. That guy was a trip. I remember being with dad when he would stop and talk at the gas station. Yes the billboard was very unique. There was another company in Louisville that ran a fleet of those. Charlie's Wrecker Service they sold out in 1995 after Charlie McClellan was in business for 50 years. He had several of them in the fleet. Great man and great company when he owned it. He was a co-founder of the Towing and Recovey Association of Kentucky. I wish I had photos of them.

Why? Towers want more respect. Not going to get it doing stunts like that. I imagine the operator was positioned on left side control station meaning he or she had to run into traffic during free fall. Smooth...........

Mike, Congratulations on the new ride. It looks great. Can't wait to see it.

515SP. "Antique"The prototype for the 525. Had power booms. Our 1st wrecker mounted on a 46 ford f6 84" ca. If anyone sees it please call would love to have it back. It was traded in December of 1959.

Ron I dont know if I would call that truck vintage.....

We start by removing the nuts and bolts before having to cut. If it is disassembled it is easier to be replaced by guardrail company. We have cut both ways but chop saw with 10" blade is best.

The booms are different. Changed to extendable or lattice just removed.

I agree the rear springs are not the best on a f550. I am building one currently, but we also add springs to the top and bottom of the mains. Have been doing this to ALL of our wreckers no matter the brand for the past 62 years. The manufacturers haven't realized where a wrecker carries its weight; behind the rear axle. The better the rear suspension the less squatting it will do and better steering. You are correct if is on a 60 ca/ with wheel lift at full extension going to have some issues. I have a 2008 F350 with a 6 ton single line wrecker with sneeker wheel lift. I am towing single axle tractors from rear, 350 box trucks from front and large SUV on wheel lift with no front end issues.
