Default Wrecker Vice Cheepo Cover

For those of us fortunate enough to be graced with Wrecker ownership covering your bumper vice is one of those little accessories you always want but can never find or afford to have made. I ran up on a really cheap cover option, not a perfect fit but tolarable! I was in a junk yard and found a cover that came off the lift control panel on a power company truck, the type with the bucket lift. It ain't perfect but for a dollar not too bad.

I wish I could cover my vices cheaply......especially this Green Iron Addiction.

After seeing what a Wilton C2 sells for, I decided it would better serve me on my bench, than on the truck. I have a much smaller Wilton or even a Reed I will put on the bumper.

Gimp, check the classifieds to see what a brand spanking new 1765 could cost you. I have ONE left!

Thats about the size of the one I got from Carnac. I think its the one going on the bumper. A new one like that wouldn't get put outside either, too pretty.


I must add, you suck for tempting me. I have bunches of vises, really shouldn't buy more.

Come on Gimp, everyone needs more vices, or vises!
I can hold it and bring it to Findlay.

Don't hold it, but if it doesn't sell, bring it with you. I'm sure we can figure something out.
