thomastractorsvc Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 That truck was on awhile ago and had more pictures, the pictures showed the inside, looked to be in pretty decent shape. Being in CO probably not alot of rust Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike69mackman Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Nice find David! Never heard of a Tulsa winch. Much different than Holmes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Holmes is a wrecker manufacturer like Century or Challenger. The winches are made by different companies like Tulsa or Garwood to name a few. Tulsa Winches are used on a ton of oil patch trucks and most are ultra heavy duty. Eiher worm drive or planetary drives.

Joe Ditchkus Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 It was on a few times if I remember correctly. It sold for good $$$ probably non paying bidder. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 It was on a few times if I remember correctly. It sold for good $$$ probably non paying bidder. Joe D.Or he tried to bid it up himself. Non-paying buyers are a great excuse when you have a friend bid the item up in an effort to get the action moving or to create the illusion of value. I'm always pretty skeptical of any re-listing that has previously "sold". Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

JTFormula Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Shill bidding is an unfortunate eBay reality. Happens everyday. I am with fxf when it comes to items relisted after it sold. Good example is the U model flatbed in Newark NJ a couple weeks ago. As for this one, that is a scary looking homemade wrecker body.

burnstransport Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 That tulsa winch headache rack and roller mounted crosswise on the back of the frame look like they have oil field written all over them, my guess is they took an old oil field truck and turned it into a gin pole wrecker. Pretty clever. Looks pretty complete though, sure would make a great conversation piece when restored! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
