I really liked the pics. you posted but the 1st one is a M62 not a M543 the
Pics of the 543 tiped over look like operator incompetance or just plain
stupidity Real wrecker drivers would have used the outriggers and that would
never have happened by looking at the markings on the wrecker and outer
modifications of the spare tire et all it looks like a Marine unit or some
forign country idiots using it and we really enjoyed Everet's story when it
appeared in MV mag quite some time ago. . Vinny----- Original Message -----
