Man that is a straight truck,no rust anywhere,that's a lucky find,you did good,thanks for the video.

[@twowheelingnut7898]

Works in a garage in the late 80s early 90s that had an 85 c30 similar to yours. It had a 454. Yours bring back some memories. It was a good rig. Good luck.

That truck looks great, if those are the original cab corners and rockers even better.

[@Dwayne7834]

Like the old blue. Wrecker

[@ldean-du5im]

Good looking truck.

[@WOLFDADDY-O]

First truck I ever worked with. A JOY...! Especially for those of you who don't know....IF i'm not mistaken, you crank the boom up and down manually BY HAND on this monster. The one I drove was like that anyway. Does this have the little electric control box or hydraulic operated WL? Hardcore truck man!

[@delrayjyd9676]

The boom lift is with crank but the winch is PTO drive. The wheel lift is electric over hydraulic.

[@mikeycunningham2307]

Going to be a nice wrecker

You can’t beat a 440 Holmes they are a workhorse

[@delrayjyd9676]

I know. The are very strong rigs. My 64 C30 440 towed all over the state, pulled hundreds of engines and moved a lot of equipment

[@cumulusvapes7]

Yes you can! Its called a Holmes 480! Twin line and split! Looking at one now for sale i think i might snag

[@timothynewkirk2654]

I like it! ...Newk from Kentucky

[@ShaggysCustoms28]

Hydraulic wheel-lift of manual lift? I have a 86 with a holmes trooper 1100 bed (hydraulic boom) with the add-on wheel lift but my wheel lift raises with the winch line. Would like to put a hydraulic wheel lift on it since the bed does have a xtra cut out for 4th hydraulic lever

[@lilmockme8821]

you have the classic, KKK? Kommie Kar Kradle?

[@dpacheco7349]

Is that a Vulcan Cradle Snatcher in the background?

[@lilmockme8821]

thats what I saw too, with out the cross bar and set up

[@fantomson5035]

I wish I could find an old Holmes push bumper like that for my truck.

[@lilmockme8821]

with the logo too... dang good find

[@gmc1284]

When you work on the clear coat make sure and video it .my 86 chevy is having the same issue.

[@ericbest9562]

I'm trying to figure out how the 440 works with one winch? Doesn't it lift the boom and have a line on it also?

[@delrayjyd9676]

It has a small hand crank that lift/lowers the boom. You can't do this with a load on it. You also have to put slack in the boom support cables to extend the boom.

[@ericbest9562]

@@delrayjyd9676 thanks! I seen the cable and someone else told me there was only one winch so I was trying to figure out how that worked . I've seen them with hydraulics and I've seen very simple ones with just a chain and hook welded to the upright but I wasn't sure how this worked with cable holding it up

[@mikeycunningham2307]

Why is your latest video on putting the 350 in the wrecker not for us to view says it's a private video

[@lilmockme8821]

is that a cradle snatcher in the back ground?

[@delrayjyd9676]

Yes it is.

[@jeffyoung2089]
