I am not really certain this is the right section for this, but I will roll with it for now. I have been poking around the Internet looking at different wrecker bodies, just to see which ones look good to me. I am very pleased with the Ashton wreckers used on mostly Nash trucks in the late 40s to their end production in the mid 50s. I have seen Ashtons on a few other brand trucks, and they catch my eye something fierce. I would like to swap the dump box off my truck for a wrecker body, but I do not know where to find one or if it would even fit. Local junkyards is a good guess, but there is just too many junkyards in the world to go through all of them. A kind man told me a Holmes 525 would be a period/ weight limit appropriate unit for my truck in case I can't find an Ashton. Although I like dump trucks and trucks having originality, I want to be a tow truck driver. Always have, always will. I can't say that success is guaranteed in the field on my own behalf, but I am almost done HS and need some direction. I figured I could try to make my truck a part of my life while I wait to join Corrections when I am 21. Even if I do not have a truck suitable for the size( length) of an Ashton unit, I have many years to find a truck to toss one on. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, thank you all for your time.

Interesting link, thank you!

 

I'm no wrecker expert or owner, but there are lots of pictures and lots of owners and experts post there regularly.
