My Dad's H475

[Larry Lange]

Here is a picture of my Dad's H475. This was taken right after it was put on a left over 1989 chassis in 1990.

 

When he went out of business he sold it to a junkyard who beat it to hell. It was later sold to another towing company.

 

About 2 years ago I saw it in his yard looking very beaten made me upset. But o well here it is

 

 

i think the crane was originally purchased in 76 by my grandfather, as the truck was originally red white and blue.
