I've been waiting to go here since i saw it in TowTimes magazine in late 80s or early 90s. It was definitely worth the wait if you love Heavy Duty wreckers, and everything about them, like I do. Wall of the Fallen is sad but it's something that needs to be seen. I spent most my life running HD wrecker and luckily was only clipped by a car 1 time and it obviously wasn't that bad cuz I'm here writing this but now I work @ PennDot and I keep hearing about safety and how many police, fireman and state workers are killed in line of duty cuz they're 1st responders but rarely do I ever hear a mention of the wrecker driver. Bad part of that is wrecker drivers are killed at rates comparable to the other 3 jobs. I make sure, any time I hear ppl talk about road side deaths, I mention the wrecker operator. Not because wrecker operator lives are worth more than the others but because they are worth just as much as the others. Be smart out there ppl! Slow down and move over! It's real simple. There was a plethora of different sizes, ages and styles of wreckers from the smallest, which was the Cony w 2cyl engine and a 1200 Holmes Commander boom with Century looking body, to the biggest mechanical wrecker ever built. The Beast as it is known was 1 of 4 W70 Holmes 70 ton wrecker beds made in the early 1950s for the military. For whatever reason the military did not order any more and no more W70s were ever built but this one was sold to a man named Earl Shade in 1960 who then mounted her on a 61 Autocar w 180 Cummins 5spd main and 4spd aux trans. The rest is in the pics if you want to read a lil more but I think it would be great to have some old 750s or 850s with a few of the extras the W70 had like PTO power swing, boom and extension. One small negative would be trying to drag 500' of 7/8" cable. Haha! I could go on and on forever but take a look for yourself and definitely go for real. Thanks.
