Hi Paul,
That was Dad's long distance truck.
Rode with him in many tractor swaps, where he towed a usable tractor to a driver and swapped out the broken unit and took back to there shop.
Is a 1958 GMC 550 with Holmes 525 wrecker. Powered by a Oldsmobile
Rocket 88, with Clark 5speed OD., and two speed rear.
Straight air brakes.
As Dad always said That "Great Mountain Climber" will "Carry the Mail"
Picture is probably early sixties.
Tom
