  1. and it has some RARE A$$ wheel adapters on it to go from the funky 6 lug to clamp style . this opens up your tire options a LOT . good clean old school project rig for sure .
  2. oh my gosh . . . . worst pics for selling a truck on a world wide site . . . but you can show us great pics of the almost bald and chopped tires .
  3. testing the market over on ebay . take a look and tell me what you think of the ad . also note my 100% feedback not 1 neg or nut ever in my history of 477 + deals https://www.ebay.com/itm/303278500724
  4. skip almost all of the stuff you said in the first post and try p.b. blaster in a spray can . the stuff dry's up in under 10 min driving down the road so no long term slick bed to slip on . but the tires hit the stuff and slide like a hot knife on butter . one day i was playing around and found the tires would almost 100% go the path of the sprayed p.b. blaster on the bed even . i used it for years after my old boss showed me the trick and boy does it work good . never used skates or gojacks . keep a eye open for the parts stores when its on sale and stock up . put 1 can in each door pocket so you don't need to run around the truck for it . and toss a extra can or 2 in the back of the cab for when you run out . i will admit wd-40 is even better but you must wash that stuff off the bed .
  5. good read . a problem i have noticed when i was towing was the cops then fire then ems would all dash there . then 5-10-14-20 min would go by then call for the next available tow truck would go out . then the 911 dispatch would call next on the list or closest available to the area depending on if city or country area the call is in . then 5 min later the cops would be going crazy were is my tow truck what the eta ? ? the stuff you listed above is all very good points of the good company's and the bad company's . but my point should also be taken in to account . even if they have us stage 2 block out so we are ready and not impeding the flow of 1st res-ponders this would help clear the road faster / make the cops happy more / and take the stress level off of us tow truck operators so we are not racing to the calls to keep the cops happy .
  6. here is a few extra pics . pic #1 is the front end of a tractor set in the unit ready to roll if it had chains and or straps on . pic #2 is of the rear end in the unit ready to roll also pic #3 is of the a van body trailer's old air ride suspension set in the unit no air in bags full drop and the lower links clean with room to spare . pic #4 is of the unit my old boss has that's smaller in weight capacity and wider than my unit . this was a recent job he did with a full burned out tractor off the highway . he was in/out in under 30 min time . pic #5 is of the same unit hauling away a old rv camper that was in a yard for close to if not over 30 years . it was sitting almost on the frame rails with all 6 tires dry rotted off and brakes frozen up . he hauled 2 of them out and to there new home in 2 hrs time and it was a trip threw town and up 15 miles in to the country side to a farm . pic #6 is of a bad mva with a med duty propane truck . a car struck the whole left side and took both axles and twisted them 30-40* in the frame to the back side and also broke some hangers and ubolts . he was in and out in under 30 min time with this one also .
  7. first off i asked TOW ZONE were to post this up and he said here and will approve this posting after its up . i had been in the towing business for around 10 years and seen a lot and done a lot of cool stuff . i also seen a lot of guys struggle with some jobs and i saw a need to make things better / faster / easier so i set out to try and fill this need . my old boss had one but it was not as beefy as mine is and over the years he found a few week points and had to have them fixed up and strengthened . my unit i set out to build took all these week points or design flaws and kicked them out the door and i went BEEFY with my build . i have had a few people look at this and say it looks over built and 1 guy who is a engineer said its very sturdy and could have been built a little less beefy and still be fine . here is my little ad i have made up for the unit . i have a lot more pics of the unit all you need to do is just ask me for them . the price point i am targeting is $6,000 dollars for the unit ready to go as you see it in the pic . this is within the price point for its size as the smaller dolly units for 1ton down for cars and such can be over 2k dollars for the top of the line set new . this unit is made to handle much bigger loads and haul almost anything you can think of on it . also do not forget this is special equipment and most billing limit rules do not apply so charge what you feel is needed for the speed of the unit & easy of use . this unit can pay for its self in 2-3 jobs then its all profit from then on . i welcome any feedback on this item and questions about it just ask and i will answer them . thanks for reading and looking my unit over and have a safe work day out there . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- today we have ........ SUPER DOLLY .................. this unit is much bigger than your standard tow truck wrecker dolly unit . this unit is made for BIG trucks / campers / stuff that's just to big or bulky to fit in a reg size tow dolly setup that is found on smaller wrecker trucks . this unit is made to help DRASTICALLY reduce your on site clean up time of a wreck or disabled BIG vehicle that for some reason you can't tow with the axles on the ground . this item can be loaded on a rollback flatbed to deliver to the work site . this gives you a extra worker at the site to help speed up the job . you can even hang this from your BIG wrecker tow truck and be taken to the call . you would then lift one end of the disabled vehicle and place the SUPER DOLLY under and set the load in and secure it down with up to 8 5/8" D-ring tie down points on the unit to pick from . then hook the other end and tow away and get the job done faster & with less work . if you want a faster way to move big objects / dead & damaged trucks / old dead campers / shipping containers / what ever you can think of to fit in or on this then this is the unit for you . the load capacity of the tires is 16,320 lbs on 16" trailer cargo tires with load range G and 14 ply . the unit is 10ft 8in wide outside tire to tire . the inside area is setup to to fit up to 104inch width . the tire pans low point is 12" off the ground . the SUPER DOLLY is just at about 1000 lbs weight by its self . the open section of the unit is set at a 53inch opening to give oil pan / brake chamber / drive shaft room for most items being hauled . the last 2 pics are of a trailer suspension unit fitting in the SUPER DOLLY . this item can pay for its self in just 2-3 jobs then after this its all profit . this unit is made for for temporary use as to its overall width . this unit is for trained towing professionals only . the unit is sold as is with no liability or warranty on sellers part as it is to be used by trained professionals as each and every job is unique .
  8. its a euro thing you wouldnt understand . 🤣 think of it like the shoping cart dolly units they have now but this is for cars . the road and driveways over there are so small this is the big ticket .
  9. i was never afraid . had a tape measure in my carry bag and knew my bed was just under 4ft to ground . if it fits it ships . even had one with the bumper 1" from head rack and rear tires 1" on past the tip she still got delivered just fine .
  10. 100% the semi drivers fault and the trucking companys . he was not driving correctly for conditions and accident seen . and did you guys see his BALD drive tires in the news video min mark 1:33 you can see them in the first post and the guy said the rain caused our truck to loose traction . sorry the tow truck operator got hit . glad he is going to make it . glad he checked his mirror before exiting the cab .
  11. as long as they were happy and no problems . just was letting you know some techs get super nasty with stuff touching there box . i had a guy YEARS ago in my early years almost hit me for putting a note with scotch tape on his snap-on HD edition box . after that i did not touch unless told i could and when i was towing i asked how they wanted it done and this was my plan and most didnt care but some were glad i asked first . keep them happy and they will keep us hookin !
  12. not to be rude but more straps and protection under the straps to box . some guys get SUPER ANAL about there boxes and stuff touching them like that . and they are way more top heavy so more than 1 strap is best . and ALWAYS check the drawers your self for locked . if they start to pop open around a turn you can kiss the box good bye as it will tip . otherwise good luck and slow and steady with them .
