Now there's a term I haven't heard in forever, the "chase truck" . I recall multiple instances watching multiple chase trucks show up at the same incident arguing who got there first. Ah, the Bronx.

My Uncle had a shop on rt3 in Rutherford before he moved to pa he used to tell me story's about wreckers all hoped up! He ran 409s and built-up 327s and kept precut flywheels and pressure plates on the shelf for quick fixes and every tow was a flat out street race! Lol got to love it. The fleet in pa was always 8-10 trucks I think 2 had small blocks the rest were all bbc and ran good! I guess the hot rod wrecker idea never really got away from him

Nothing like showing up before the cop has even finished putting out the call.

Those dam chase trucks caused more accidents driving around like *ssh*les and oiling the intersections then sitting across the street waiting.

Here in NYC that's all they did.

I can't speak about the other places.

Should have included that in the other post.
