1928 Six Speed Special 1 Ton Dually

Hi All,
I am looking for pictures of a 1928-1929 International Six Speed Special wrecker/tow truck. I purchased a truck that used to be a wrecker and want to make it back into one. It has a stake bed on the back of it currently. Looking for pictures to see how the back of the truck was configured. I have tried googling them but haven't seem to come across any.

Any information is much appreciated!!

That picture is "out there". I think I've seen it.
I'll look in my collection.
Probably can google "vintage tow truck". Not so much International tow truck?
Manley hand crank? Or something else?
Lots of Manley Hand Cranks still around.

Here are two that are "loose". Don't know what brands. Found on Tempest "all of craigslist" awhile back?

Quick check of my photos. IHC C-30 looks like.

That C30 really is a nice looking truck.

Dean, anyone that's worked on a C-30 knows how much work went into JUST the cab and doors. These cabs are a disaster of wood framing and tweaked, cracked sheetmetal.
Yes, it's a TRIUMPH.

The Green dually is bad ass. By 1936 weren't the cabs all steel?- Stickman 207

No. No all-steel C Series.
The C Series DOORS were all-steel at the end.
However, the floor structures, door jambs, inside rear cab structures were still wood.
Unlike Chevy of the same years, the "A" pillars on C-Series IHC were all metal.
BTW, this is why I like D-Series IHC so much: All-steel.
