ah yes , the joys of owning your own company . it's amazing how a lot of people think you just sit back and let the money roll in , they never see the paperwork side of it . i used to have my own company for a while when i lived in ffld cnty . it's cool that you were able to survive the winter , lots of guys hurting out there . the last big job i did was for a buddy of mine out in west hampton l.i from sept to dec . sure put the kabosh on striper /deer season .

Hello
So I have to say this is my first Ford. I recently purchased what I believe to be a 1973 Ford Wrecker with a Holmes 440 wrecker unit on it. It has a 390 V-8 and a 3 speed manual trans. It has the front end sheet metal of a 1979. and the doors seem to be from a 1977. That is the extent of what I know about it at this time. I have purchased this truck for a class project at Danbury High School where I teach Auto Shop. I am sure as time goes on I will be posting many questions on here. Thanks for the forum.

Welcome to the group mrsambuck.Interesting that the school has a tow truck available to it.
Should start the rumor that once its refurbished that the school is going to use it for student parking enforcement.

Hi Everybody
Hi, everybody, My name is Brian and i'm from Windsor Locks, Connecticut. I bought a 05 F350 6.0 in 2009 and love it. I am a chevy person but I love ford diesels. I have been driving Ford wreckers since the 80's (started with the 6.9) and have always felt comfortable in a Ford truck. I hope to be getting involved in some of the discussions and look forward to meeting some of you.
