HI all,
   Over the past 6 months, I have been building a tow truck from scratch.
I found a International diesel with a Ford cab, and have been running this
setup as I have working on installing the boom and hydrolic components for
the wheel lift. I'm convinced that diesels are the way to go. I'm even
thinking about buying a diesel Vanagon. The gas milage of this giant
truck is about 20 MPH. The heat is marginal, and it has a high output
heater. It requires 2 batteries to start in cold weather. Has tons of
power, as it can plant you in the seat with a car on the hook.
  ....,.. I would like to hear more discussion on Diesel VS gas
motors.
