Thanks, I like the old girl, but I really miss the old KW we had. I got to look in my picture files and see if I can find a photo of him.....we used to call him "Big Al" 78 Kenworth W900 w/40ton boom and two 50 ton winches

Nice looking truck!! Interesting to see a loaded roll back towed LOL!

I used to build model trucks as a teenager and one of my projects was a scratch built Holmes twin boom (think it was a 750) wrecker on an International Eagle chassis that would have looked something like your truck (in concept at least). Becoming an adult stole away my time and I never finished it, it's my dream to be able to work on those things again someday.

I used to build models of trucks all the time, my friends would be building camaros and mustangs and I'd be up in my room building a brockway or something....LOL wish I had those things today.......

LOL, was a load of fun two! air compressor broke free from the engine and left him in the middle lane on route 15 during rush hour........he started complaining about how long it took me to get there and the cops were.."hurry the f*** up man and clear our road". I looked at the driver and said "hey, your the one that panicked and didn't head for the shoulder not me"
