Local body shop has been on a Rampage with building custom Wreckers. A few they've stretched the frame and moved axles around to accomadate the extra work load. They have a seperate shop where they fabricate the tool boxes and the whole deck around the wrecker unit. This is the latest one that they finished. And it looks like a picture of their next project.

We got 4 Trucks in the shop now. Got a massive 60TON with a turret that will rotate 360 degrees, a 30TON and a 20TON. The fourth I was stripping today. Not sure what capacity it will have. But it's going to have the sleeper on it. My first day working and I saw those trucks and I was thinking of all you guys. I'm so proud to be working on the real deal. I got some pictures coming soon. Hopefully in the next couple weeks. And if you guys are into this stuff, you are gonna be floored when you c the pictures. Take care and God Bless all of you.

200 FT of 9/16 Cable was strung through to the winches. This truck was finished and got detailed by me. Owner will take delivery pretty soon. Amazing how these trucks come together, Had another truck come in this week. Frame is getting stretched and the sleeper is staying on. We're doing two right now with sleepers and four that are day cabs. One more is getting ready to go out the door this coming week. Hope you guys and gals like the pics.
Corbett Out!

[CorbettTrailers]

The first picture was from before we got the outriggers in. They are all hooked up and running. Picture of truck with white sleeper is another project. The last picture is a truck that went out on Friday. I love my job. I get moved around quite a bit but I enjoy it.

Hey John , That 1st pic w/the out riggers Is a big help :D keep them coming . Oh , can you get some real close pics of the rear /underlift of that 1 in the 1st pic ? ;) when I finally get mine done I'll have to make some trips with it ;)

IHSteve

[CorbettTrailers]

Picture of the under reach will have to wait a while. All the trucks with under reach systems are not installed yet. All just have the booms on. The 60 Ton with the outriggers is going to have two booms. The rotating boom is done but it's not ready to be installed. The under reach is one of the last sections to be installed. Any specific pics you need let me know and I'lll do my best to get them posted.

Sorry about the blurry pics.

[CorbettTrailers]

This is what I went back to work to find. Just in time though because I've been missing it.
http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv221/corbettj454/091.jpg
I forgot to get some pics of the Rear chassis after I painted it but with the boxes on it's well on it's way.. I wasn't too sure about white on a wrecker but, we build to the owners specifications, what they want they get. And before anyone comments on the yellow not matching up, there is a Blue thunder bolt that with go down the middle that will cover it up. Unfortunately that will be after it leaves.

We just started a 2000 Ford F-350 that will be an 8 TON wrecker. I will post some pictures of that in the morning. Also have more pictures of us setting the boom on another wrecker. I'll post them tomorrow too. Make you check back for more pics. I'll do my best to keep you guys up to date on what we are working on. At the same time we're working on a truck for ourselves. We coulda made a killing this week when the snow hit. Thanks for looking, John Corbett.

sweet pictures that sure is alot of iron! That stretch you did looks very good from the piture it was a little blurry but still looked good! the only thing i stretched was my waist line got to shorten it!!! lol

[CorbettTrailers]

Lol. Thanks. Unfortuneatly the black one is almost done. I forgot to get some pics before. Only thing left is the winches and hydraulic lines to them. I believe it's a 30 ton. The F-350 is on hold. Problems with the original design. I believe they are tweeking it a little bit since the chassis frame in the rear isn't what we expected.
