I worked at O’Hare and a buddy worked at Sams in the 80’s. They were kings of towing construction trailers. Instead of companies having to make trailers road safe and license and insure them. Sams would tow them. Used any old B-model,r-model internationals anything.It’s weird in the 80’s they had one Mfg. wrecker body. They were all pipe booms and army wreckers and 1 Holmes 600. They had a ton of trucks. Nice seeing them get some attention.

You should go to the historic tow truck museum in Chattanooga TN. They have all kinds of stuff including a wall dedicated to all the tow truck drivers who have died while doing their jobs recovering vehicles and people from wrecks

What is the back story here? Did the owner pass away? Do they plan to pull these out so we can come see them? Is there a way to get prices?

@weldingandwheeling9883 3 месяца назад

They are still in business, just clearing some space and making some money for new trucks. I’m not sure on the tactic for getting them out to sell, sooner or later they are all going to have to come out. For prices you’ll have to contact the guys
