Does anyone here have experience using a Holmes-style wrecker? Not sure the mechanics of an older tow truck, having grown up almost entirely in the rollback tow truck era. Can anyone explain to me the purpose of the black-strap looking thing that hung down in the rear of the older tow trucks and wreckers, and how it would properly be hooked up to a towed vehicle? The military Holmes wreckers, what was there a weight limit to what it could tow like that?
