Life's to short for Facebook, Twitter, etc. Too high maintenance for my liking. Couple hobby forums and this site is all I need.

Thanks. Not many like that left in Iowa, at least for sale. Will keep my eyes open and if I run across one I'll let Roy know. Marshall

Roy, I'm confused. Are you looking for an older medium duty or are the ones in the picture for sale??? More info would help you either way.😃

I'll throw out the question, what are the other ways to recover that car. No rotators allowed😎😎. Not keeping score, just trying to add to the mental toolbox

Not sure at this point. Thinking old iron, 60's/70's. Seen a autocar LB series a few years back that looked nice. Engine and front hood stuck out in front of front axle. Reminded me of a platapus. Maybe an Oshkosh. I'll know when I find it LOL. Marshall

Found the spec sheet from 1971. Body only is 1650, 600 only is 2600. Total is 4250 plus 500 of dirt and gravel. I have wanted to do a project like this for 20 plus years. Marshall

I was thinking close to 6000 pounds. Looking to build a short wheel base 4*4 recovery truck. Split booms would be perfect for side work
-
Looking at a Holmes 600 complete with body. I thought that I had the specs somewhere as far as weight goes. Of course I can't find that PDF now. Anyone know what one of these jewels weighs? Want to make sure I take the proper size trailer if it follows me home. Thanks Marshall

Even though I am almost retirement age, I still learn something new from this site. In the grand scheme of towing and recovery my skill set is still very much grasshopper to the many masters here. I will try to add my viewpoint and/or ask questions to some of more interesting recovery threads. Really enjoy doing recovery jobs. Marshall

Merry Christmas everyone. I'm still here and Lord willing for years to come. Marshall

Can you send me a code? I'll upgrade to level 2 thanks. Marshall

I'll upgrade to level 2. Will be later this month before I can get payment sent. This website is well worth a few dollars a year. Marshall

Still here. Learning everyday thanks to this site.

Challenger 5800
in Vintage Equipment
Posted
Looking at a challenger 5800 on 1988 Chevy c70. Fairly rough but complete, good candidate for restoration. Retired and looking for good project. haven't found any brochures yet on this unit. Anyone know specs on this jewel in the rough.
