Great work, gentlemen! My dad drove two wreckers during the Korean war. They were testing vehicles in Alaska, 1952-3. The first, I believe, was a Diamond 969a. Two months into his service, he got a gift from Ward La France. A brand new wrecker, with dual wheel base in back and a 360 degree boom. It worked great, perhaps too good. Each time he traveled from base to base, a corporal insisited on taking a ride with him! I'd love to see photos of the Ward la France wrecker, the newer one, from 1952. It was probably the M62, but I am not sure. Regardless, keep up the good work! PS Ward La France has a museum in NJ, USA.

Wonderfully done! My father drove one of these, I believe, in Alaska, 1952-3. He served during the Korean war. Two months into service, they replaced the 969A with a brand new Ward la France, 360 degree boom, dual wheel base. He was so proud of both! I appreciate you posting the photos. I have not seen photos of the Ward La France that replaced it. Keep up the good work!
