I'm thinkin Brutus fits your personality

[tedly]

Sounds like you could lift Rhode Island with Brutus!

[Schtauffer]

Love it!

[Brian Lohnes]

Oh, I have like 20 "can I lift it/drag it/tow it" ideas already. A big ass stump is getting all 15 tons of pulling power when I get the truck to start.

You should try to find a old car in a deep ravine,and try to pick it up..would make a great thread!!

[Brian Lohnes]

Crazy, right!

Those are some beefy cables, to me anyway!

[Blazerteam]

Looks very nice..one elderly owner maybe..from Pasadena?.

Twin 15000 pounds winches...yikes!!!!

Getting amped up for the trip next week. I have a slew of photos from Rick, the dude I bought it from. I am going to run an introduction item on Monday about the truck, but here is another sneak peek!

I talked to Weld-Built, the company that made the wrecker apparatus on the truck back in 1968. They said they will send me all the data and manuals on it. The cool thing is that the wrecker body was a custom build with twin 15,000 winches. Normally they would have been 10,000lb jobs or a single 15, so this truck was spec'd out to have the strength to move some heavy junk!

The interior is insanely clean and the wrecker stuff is all in great shape as well. More to come on Monday!
