Need a lift?

Nice pair for sure. A 131" wb and a 157". Looks like some 8.25 x 20s on there too. I hope to live long enough to drag my last complete jailbar 122" outa the woods and build a little wrecker like you saw in junkyards. I've always liked tow trucks. Thanks for the inspiration.

OK, Fine... So, now that I can actually see it they are both the short wheelbase 1 1/2 tons. Thanks Tim
