Buc84 ◊ 2015-08-08 18:08	The F-250 I drove that was made into a wrecker was done well after it was sold new?? ('Slide In' unit was added by later owner. It began life as 'just' an F-250 pickup?) F-350's make better wreckers,heavier rear springs and rear axles/gearing.
Buc84 ◊ 2015-08-08 18:11	Also: The one pictured is a 4X4. Would likely have been used in a more rural area for retrievals. (Getting vehicles un-stuck from mud,out of deep ditches,etc.)
rjluna2 ◊ 2015-08-08 21:07	You have a very valid point, Buc84.
