Neato!
Do you have any idea of its lifting limit, or does that just depend on your arm and back?
Not sure of the lifting limit, guessing it would lift as much as a person could put on it until the front end came off the ground. LOL
Way Cooool !
That's a mighty fine looking rig, Kevin. Where in the world did you get those beautiful rear tires?
The rear tires I got online, they are actually front tires to a 4X4 tractor.
Congratulations.
I'm glad to see you got it going.
Herb
Kevin, tell me more about the tires. What size and make are they? They are awesome.
Kevin - You have a really nice TT Wrecker.
I'd like to make a suggestion - a picture of this truck on your profile would be really nice.
Keith
Lance, the tires are Agri-Comp 750X20, made in the Ukraine, only pair the man had. I searched for a decent mud grip forever and finally settled for these.
Camel must be a nickname? ;)
Camel toe?
Nice truck,But man that name said it all!! I had a boss with that nickname I wonder if she had worked there at some point... I don't think I will ask.
That is SO cool!
Your tow truck looks great! (Won't do much towing however until you get the motor put in!)
Kevin - Your profile picture looks great!!
Thanks, Keith
Should have the motor all put back together by next week, had to have new babbit bearings put in block.
Thanks Herb, couldn't have done it without your Weaver!!!
I like your truck. I really dig the rear tires, what was the name of the tire store online??
Scott, it wasn't a tire store, it was an individual selling a set of farm tractor tires that he bought and wouldn't fit his tractor.
Cool tow rig Kevin

I found all these but you have to buy a sea container full
Scott, I looked into those too but didnt need 100 sets!!! LOL, they do offer some nice mud grips though.
Two wrecker photo's of a T car with a truck cab and a TT with an express bed. One is a Weaver and the other wrecker is a Manley. Those two brands seem to be the most common.
Kevin, I know a few people that import from china and from the same province. I'm going to ask if they can help me at all.
Awesome trucks Willie!!! I had my hands on one in Schulenburg TX at an old junk yard but the owner suspects some Model T'ers came in and stole it while he was down in his back. He said alot of Model T guys looked at it before it came up missing.
Really nice. The next time my T breaks down I will call you for a tow. How much do you charge per mile?
Thanks Mark, you'd get your T home faster if you pushed it since I'm in Texas and you are in California, it would take me a month or ten to get there in this thing!!! LOL
Here's the two name plates usually found on these wreckers

Bob, mine still has the original name plates, I'm guessing you make those?
