Dad started in 1948,
My brother Ed runs it now.

I'm retired heavy equipment operator/mechanic and help occasionally.

We've had a lot of different wreckers through the years, grew up in the business and it stay's in your blood.

I do know a few guy's who collect Old Holmes
cranes, and parts. I will check with them.

Dad's favorite was a 58 GMC 550 with a Holmes 525 He built from a wrecked tractor in 58.The truck was new when crashed.
He used a Old's Rocket 88 V8, 5speed overdrive and two speed rear.
Straight air brakes.
He installed the 525 from an older Chevy. he retired.
Still have that truck along with the LF Mack.
I will let you know if and when I find something.
Tom
