i pickup 480 holmes tow truck bed i plan mounting in the stock bed of my truck. i'll post some pic. later of what i plan to do there is one down the road form me

 

What not word from anybody no one ever want a tow unit in there truck ? Like the old service sation trucks...

 

i was going to mount a tilt flat bed on my cc 18ft long , so i think it would be cool to have a tow bed on a old dent side

 

theres a 79 up my buddys junk yard with a tow body on the back...wish i could get it but hes leasing some of the ground to his other buddy whos got a small scrap yard as well so i wont be able to get it

 

Heres my Holmes on a 76 F-250 Highboy...towing my 79 F-350 4x4

what did you run pto off of ? On that highboy tow truck

 

I had a holmes 480 twin line one time. It was a great set up, but the sling just wasn't gettin it anymore for these newer rubber nosed cars. Mine was like fordtrucknut's set up, not in a pickup bed. I think it would work well installed in a bed as long as it's tied directly to the frame like a 5th wheel hitch is.

 

that's the plan mounted to the frame. And some add a wheel lift too

 

maybe i can get a photo of the one up the road from me this weekend maybe u guys would like to see this

 

My PTO runs of the Transfer case...Pop it in neutral and use the 4 speed gears of the transmission to run the slow or fast speed of the winch

 

that help me alot could you please sent pic if possible.... thanks for the help

 

I will see what I can do...we are supposed to get snow ...so it all depends on the weather....but i'd be more than happy to get you some pics.

 

when you get sometime and good weather thank you very much

 

i just got 79 f-350 cab and frame 4x4 too add to parts to build this truck

 

I haven't forgot about ya...just haven't been able to get pics yet
