I do remember the front bumper being white and back striped .....I think for the extra width and caution left hand drive painted on the rear.

Thanks Ron - yeah, I have pics of a few wreckers, all with red/white diagonal stripes on the front bumper and "WIDE"... and ..."LOAD" on the outside quarters. I think it's the guards for the body side lamps and or maybe the mirrors!
Can't wait to get it on the road with the CAUTION LHD on the back - gonna get some funny looks/questions.
