Toast’s “old” big block engine should be put into the flat bed. When Cleatus first showed the tow truck he said that he’d like to make it so that it could tow and do burnouts. I’m sure with that engine, even when n/a, would provide more than enough power to do that.

If it wasn't gonna be out on the hiway, you could put some 'racier' tires on which might slip better, 'specially if they had a few extra pounds in them, and that might avoid the breakage a blown motor would do to the old beast. You'd twistthe frame if it hooked, and it's got duelies on the back. I've broke things in that extra truck just effing around with a stock engine. LOL It'll wheeel hooop like crazy if you put that much power to it, then bang, it'll throw the two piece driveshaft(?), out like a nunchuck, or drop the front u-joint if it's a one piece, and hump the old beast in the air, like a rutting dog! Yeah, eff it, let's put the blown BBC in it. Or does toast have an LS? (I can't keep up with all the largess of riches of this 'fleet'. I've never had enough $$ to have 'several' race cars/toys. I was lucky enough to have at least one, most of the time.)

Nice to see that truck running. With a good tune up and some things fixed you will have a great truck. One thing you need to do is find out how to operate it . You need to load car on first then run bed up. If you don’t you will break the truck in half. I was a tow truck dealer for many years and sold a ton of these flatbeds. You have a classic unit. It is going to service you well. Enjoy

There’s no damn high idle switch. First of all high idle is only applicable to anything with some type of fuel injection system. Whether it be gas or diesel. There may be a throttle cable setup but it would be on the lower dash above the gas pedal. But I doubt it had one because from the factory and yes Chevrolet ford and dodge all made incomplete trucks and shipped them to Holmes, Chevron, and Miller, Weldbuilt, etc wrecker companies, they did not put a throttle lock.

When you load a car on the flatbed, you need to roll the bed forward with the landing gear on the ground until the bed is almost to the locks then tilt it down. you tilted it flat way too far back and that puts a lot of stress on an aluminum bed and the rear suspension.

Yes you can. One winter the gas station across from where I worked sent a pickup style tow truck out to jump start a car. That truck died, so they sent the bigger unit. Watching the driver back a tow truck that was towing a tow truck that was towing a car, and have him dead on in the garage bay on the first time was poetry in motion.

When you operate the bed, make sure the rear feet are still on the ground when you are rolling the bed forward with a vehicle loaded onto it. It’s hard on the subframe when you put the bed all the way down flat and then slide it forward with a vehicle on it. Especially something heavy like that Cummins Galaxie. It makes it a lot easier to strap/chain the rear vehicle to the bed this way too. Then when you sit the bed all the way down flat, it won’t have far to move until it slides into the bed locks. Looks like a pretty nice old Holmes C172 rollback!

I would go with a Terminator X Stealth throttle body setup myself, but same difference. They could do a universal Terminator X MPFI kit(THE best deal in stand-alones IMO - just installed the Fox kit on a mildly built 306" SBF, it's killer for the cash) as well with a direct port EFI manifold swap, it's an appropriate budget setup for such an application too. Not to mention, they can support electronic trans control and DBW throttle bodies in 'X Max' form, so they could keep using it with any future gas V8 drivetrain swaps in it, old or new. I won't lie, I'm a Haltech fan boy(DAT NEXUS THO - what a fawkin unit!) - but Holley just crushed the entry level/budget stand alone EFI market over the past few years, both TBI and MPFI, universal and application specific(not only is it not just for LSxes, but they ACTUALLY have Mod motor stuff! Unbelievable! Lol).
