Re: i want some 73/87 chevy wreckers and flatbeds
From 1990-1995 I owned and operated Cowboy Towing in Stillwater OK. we made every call in a square. here is the fleet.
1973 C30 350 4 speed with a Holmes 480 and a Century wheel lift 1982 C30 454 4 speed with a Century 442 and a Century wheel lift 1988 Chevy R30 454 4 speed with a Holmes 175 rollback. aftyer I sold it, the 73 got wadded up and the bed was swapped to a mid 80s GMC. the company is still open and has all newer Chevy iron.

Re: i want some 73/87 chevy wreckers and flatbeds
I think that truck was on eBay a few years ago. I think it's a 79 with a high side Holmes 480 bed

If you haven't already, look up "recoveryteam" on Youtube. They do off road recoveries with a square body wrecker.
