      Finished up all of the lights on the tank......   Little bit of everything here.  Ranger Detail Technologies Rectangular Slam Locks and turn signals.  The turn signals where an extra that Tim threw in the last order.  They look to be the front turn signals from the 1/25th Scale 1976-1978 American LaFrance PIONEER III Cab Kit...looks great no matter what they could be used on....if interested, give Tim a shout, I am pretty sure that he could print up a set at a very reasonable cost, tell him you saw them here. The 3 red marker lights and back up lights were done using a hand held hole punch.  The brake lights are from parts unknown. `    More marker lights using a hand held hole punch

      Thank you very much. I’ll gather more info on the Manley brand. This has been a very cool discovery for me. Up until today, I had no idea. He passed just before I was born, and my mother brought a large box of old family photos with her this weekend, and this one really caught my eye. When asked she said “oh I forgot about that, yeah he owned a gas station at one time…”

      1941 Ford 1 ton .....wrecker looks to be a Manley, definitely not a Holmes unit.

      just found this photo of my grandfather’s tow truck from his Detroit-area service station. I don’t know the location of the station, yet. Working on that. I’m looking for any information regarding the truck and body. Also wondering about the color scheme, as I’d enjoy building a model of it, too.

      Thank you everyone for the comments.....your opinions really do mean something......I guess the only thing missing is the stench.  Believe me, I seriously thought of rubbing rotten potato's on the inside of the packer and hopper before a show.
