Bringing home a new junker 1943 352 with a 20 ton winch on the back. Was use as a ship yard hold back truck for lowering ships down in to the drink. Has anchor hooks under the frame to secure the truck during operation to concrete hold downs at the to of the ramp. http://www.flickr.com/photos/37254914@N06/4527415974/
