Abstract: An improved towing vehicle for retrieving and/or transporting other vehicles such as vintage cars, disabled automobiles, or disabled trucks. The improved towing vehicle combines a rollback bed with a rear-mounted recovery boom that serves as both a conventional recovery boom and a wheel lift assembly. The improved wrecker truck of the present invention can thus transport two and possibly three vehicles at a time. The present invention also includes an improved rear-mounted multi-function recovery boom having a pivoting extension that greatly expands the towing vehicle's recovery and retrieval capabilities. Finally, the present invention includes a rollback bed that can be manipulated to a plurality of load positions, including a raised platform position in which the bed is raised to an elevated position over the towing vehicle.

Abstract: A power-operated, exterior rear view mirror, normally mounted on each side of large or long vehicles, having motor assemblies within the mirror housing which provide adjustment capabilities in both visual planes, vertical and horizontal. The mirror can be mounted on the vehicle using the existing mounting hardware and can be wired into the existing electrical system of the vehicle. A remote-control switch, located inside the vehicle within easy reach of the driver, controls the adjustment of the mirror, making the task of adjusting the mirrors virtually effortless and providing for safer vehicle operation.

Abstract: A power-adjusted exterior rear-view mirror for large or long vehicles, having a motor and a remote control switch which permits the driver of the vehicle to adjust the mirror while seated in the driver's seat. The mirror can be mounted on the vehicle using existing attachment brackets and can be wired into the existing electrical system of the vehicle. Upon activation of the switch, the mirror rotates from side to side a short distance in a slow and continuous motion until proper adjustment is reached and the switch is turned off. A spring located inside the mirror assembly provides tension to hold the mirror in its adjusted position, and to permit the mirror to give way to a force applied rearwardly on its outside edge and to turn toward the vehicle, then to return the mirror to its original position when the force is removed.
