jaysm35a2 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Rob , if you stop by Ace Hardware flanged bolts arent too bad. BUT , used ones cost more so thats the case im sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Rob , if you stop by Ace Hardware flanged bolts arent too bad. BUT , used ones cost more so thats the case im sure.They are actually called SEM screws with the integral flanged head. Usually the grade 5, or grade 8 are higher in price than standed capscrews and fine thread are more expensive yet. Now, 3 for $11.99 is a bit costly any way it's looked at.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

RowdyRebel Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Price:US $550,000.00Whoever is running that truck has to be able to make the payments, and they get their revenue from the people they tow.....I wouldn't want to be the person paying that tow bill!I prefer to see an old, reliable, simple truck without all of the bells & whistles....a truck that's been paid off for a decade or two and still going strong....because they can do the same job more profitably at a lower rate.The "lower rate" part is what I like...

vision386 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Personally,i think there is a lot of "who has the biggest johnson" the the towing and recovery business,RARELY do the ends justify the means (half a million dollar wrecker?) my late cousin was in the towing racket for years,he did buy top notch equipment,but it was never fancy,chromed,or babied! they were however SPOTLESS,and his reputation as someone who could do any job was his calling card,and if not done "his way" he'd simply walk away....later to be called back to do the job,that the "default" company could'nt handle (at twice the first quoted rate i might add)..better to have a clean,well maintained wrecker,with a capable driver,then a million dollar boat anchor!

Rob Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Wonder why the wheelbase was left so long? Something that heavy spec would heave like that every tow.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

slpwlker Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Wonder why the wheelbase was left so long? Something that heavy spec would heave like that every tow.RobIt might heave in the middle like that but usually the long wheelbase to bring the nose down. What I was always told. when I drove for a tow company we tried picking up a T800 rock bucket that was rolled. I know I was in a Volvo but it was a short wb. I mean short. looked like a grocery delivery tractor. I don't think it was 165" wb. We got it off the ground but was real light on the front and left it.

other dog Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 One in my area, 1987 big dog.I saw this wrecker in Kentucky.

leversole Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Won't the counterweight being heavier than the vehicle cause balance issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
