Jim, If you ever get a chance, stop by Bill Abney's towing and ask him to show you his early 50's restored tow truck. One of the best I have ever seen. He keep's it there in the rear garage. He is a super nice guy, and I am sure he would show it to you. I met him a few year's back when I had a flat tire in Hillsboro on my trailor hauling all barn wood for my country store.
