I caught this one outside at the Towing & Recovery Museum in Chattanooga, TN. If only there was some sunlight.
1979 Chevy Silverado/Holmes 440
It set a speed record at the Talladega Speedway of 130 mph on the straight away and 109.33 mph average lap.

A little further over is a WW2 Ward-LaFrance wrecker nicely restored. This was in the days before hydraulics. Steel cables on a drum driven by a PTO shaft.
A book on these vehicles with text and pix is available on the web at
