Holmes 750 Wrecker Body with 40 ton winches. 6-71 T (turbocharged) Detroit Diesel (approx 270 hp) 10 speed eaton fuller roadranger transmission. 40,000 lb rears with either 4.44 0r 4.56 gears. Hendrickson walking beam spring suspension The truck tops out at 63-64 MPH. Truck can be test driven as it is reg and insured (requires a CDL) . The tires and brakes are 90% I just changed the oil and filters and greased it. Truck has a massive heavy duty push bumper. (was custom made) Truck runs and drives good. (I drive it once a week for 15 to 20 miles so its not sitting.) Just winched/uprooted a couple of 70 foot pine trees with it. using only one winch and one cable uprooted and pulled over the whole tree. Good strong truclk for someone with a small towing business needing a occasional heavy duty wrecker without spending a lot of money... The truck spent 31 of its 35 years in a HEATED municipal garage. HAS ONLY 12,500 original miles and 1400 hours on the original engine. I have complete history of the truck as I drove it for said municipality. It needs a few marker lights and a fuel tank strap. The low air warning buzzer also needs replacement otherwise it is road ready. I was gonna put it to work but too busy with my other trucking business. VERY LOW MILES AND HOURS
