    Yep MC#2304. Now the towing company I used to work for would be older but they didn't have to have MC back the. Founded 1927 and operated by 3 generation still. This was their first wrecker built by them on a 1917 Cadillac chassie. download (2).jpeg

    Yes Sir a spudder as we called them.

    The top 2 pics are actually just for a visual, top pic is a 21W like I grew up on, and 2nd pic shows the flatbed pulley when the guard is removed.

    3rd pic is my uncles T650 Chicago Pneumatic rotary on a Ford 880 Louisville, spent a lot of time with it as well. It had a V6 Detroit deck engine.

    4th pic is our Bucyrus 22W with a Buda deck engine on a Ford truck. That is my great uncle that raised me standing by the fender, and I'm standing on the deck at the right rear cab corner. Look closely on the left side, and you can see the rear of the 21W Derrick sticking back in the picture.

    Last pic is just for visual.....
    Up until I was 8 yrs old I stayed in the cab of a B Series International like the one in the picture. With every lick that old truck would shake wildly, keep in mind that was about 1800 lbs of steel it was throwing down back there lol. I have a 61 B160 International like that now at my kinfolks.
