Broke frame to towing Fords!

Watch as I resurrect my beloved 1974 Wrecker by repairing the broken frame and hauling my friend's Crown Victoria. This revival project is a labor of love and I'll show you what we did to patch the broken frame, reassemble the truck and then haul Johns Vic home from the Kansas Gambler 500 Rally! Special thanks to John, Alex and Mike!

You told a great story in a short amount of watch time. I'm glad the wrecker made it back to fight another day.

[@theempireofrust]

I am aswell! It's a very handy machine!

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

Man, if only it was always this easy when the first time comes up short!

[@theempireofrust]

Right

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

Awsome how you stall, and start back up and just go hoping it fixes itself... glad im not the only one that does that.

[@theempireofrust]

I think most of us do that lol

This reminds me of how they welded additional plates along the exterior top-sides of the Liberty Ships (kind of Frankensteining the ships) supplying Europe in WW2. This is what they came up with when the ships would crack in half on the cold rough seas. It worked for them so it should work for you.

[@theempireofrust]

Kind of the same concept I figure

[@robertpotter9156]

That was a pretty good trip for the old wrecker

[@theempireofrust]

It's a good test drive
