Congrats Jeff!!

I'm no expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Is it coming to your shop?  I'm afraid to make another assumption.  LOL   Just found out that congratulations are in order.    Dan

It looks like the C2 wrecker is coming to Florida. I'm on cloud nine.

Jeff

The three trucks behind the yellow Federal are General Motors products

First one is a 6x6 CCKW open cab compressor truck with a LeRoi on the back, second one is a Chevrolet 4x4 1.5 ton K-44 Signal Corps Earth Augur, third looks to be another open cab plain CCKW.

Too many Dodges and Dodge-powered things...

Jeff,  I stand corrected!  I did not stump Jeff!!!!   You are correct on the C-2 wrecker  The federal is listed only as a C-2. There must be another wrecker which is a 1943 Diamond T that's not pictured.   Since I never get any of the "What am I's" correct, I assumed the picture was the Diamond T.  You know what happens when you assume!   I forgot to mention that the auction flyer is on "Auctionzip.com" in Ohio.

I'd agree and don't know much....but we did have a Federal wrecker at our Ashland show last week....and pretty much matches that.  That cab is so wide you can near put 4 guys across the seat!!!

Dan, you didn't stump me, that wrecker is a Federal. You got some bad information. I have at least 100 pictures of them, probably more. I've always wanted one.

Jeff

I can't believe I stumped Jeff.   Wrecker is a Diamond T 969A, 4 ton and the yellow one is a 52 federal.   Yes Jeff they will be for sale.   Huge military auction on July 2nd.   I don't know how to post the link to the auction site but they are in Grove City, Oh.  Auctioneer is DAF Auctions, Inc.  and the auctioneer ID number is 5526.    There's a ton of cars and trucks in addition to military vehicles.  The info needs to be in a separate thread announcing it.   Thanks,   Dan
