57 bcr Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 jakebrake as PeterMack says it's still workin'! It's a B-81 radiator/grill shell,as far as I know. I broke a brass elbow off of a relay valve one time & Mark Steffenhagen came out to bring it to me in that very wrecker. Expecting a pickup, I thought,"what's this gonna cost me?". Mark said,"the only reason I bought the wrecker is,it has all the right tools on it!" He charged me like $25 + the elbow! 2 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

j hancock Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Holy Cow! Sure looks like it could be the same truck or its twin. The truck had Fairfield Transmission on the side with Texas plates.Lots of details are the same between the two like modified fuel tank steps and pin striping details, truck colors, etc. Very interesting! 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

vision386 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Jim,the wrecker in my picture was taken at Englishtown,NJ in the early 80's the company in question (Nicolette Towing) has been located in Bellville,NJ since 1943! They are still around,still use the same paint scheme/colors,but have gone (sadly) mostly to "brand-x" equipment..................................MarkI couldn't get the "linky" thing to work,but if you look up Nicolette Auto Body,there site should come up,has mostly pictures of the new trucks Quote Mack Truck literate.
