Where did all the years go? I feel no older than that day in 1973. . Impressive pictures there Thanks for sharing Paul 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storkmack Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 When I started driving in 2000 my Dad put me on with Geske hauling sand at first then they told Me bring a frame trailer the next day so I could haul hot mix. Ran with that truck a fair amount and it was a good runner. I had an 84’ 300/ 6 speed and ran right with him all day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be the telltale evidence. there is white paint under the windshield gasket I will check under a light in a day or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prowrench Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 On 8/4/2020 at 4:58 PM, Wrecker Rebuilder said: I like the wrecker in front of it. Holmes 750 extendable booms with a drag winch. Put a maxidyne 5 speed in front of that winch and it will pull hell backwards, absolute winching machine. About second gear is almost the same speed as the 750. The three lines together with some snatch blocks will shame these modern hydraulic trucks. My 1945 Reo got to help a modern wrecker with a sunk end loader. Modern wrecker pulled up to the limit and quit pulling. Reo kept going and came out with the submerged loader to the surprise of young operator impressed with his new truck. When the weight of the wrecker axle pushes down on the scotch blocks chained into the body something is going to happen. the drag winch is just sitting there it is going on my 64 C615 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
