    Holmes 440 wrecker Info?

    I have one as well. It's a 75 chassis with an 86 cab swapped on. I had to tow it home, it had a brake issue, $17 later she was moving and stopping.

    My 83 K20 does not have AC or heat, the PO removed everything under the hood and blanked the firewall off with a sheet of aluminum. Under the dash everything is still there, including the AC heater core, except for some of the duct work and vacuum lines. I recently bought an 86 cab and took all...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I did a little fender trimming to fit 315/75R16 Kumhos on my M1031. I also got a couple axles to put under my 1970 GMC, going 1 tons.
