I guess it could be but from what I'm to understand, "Hollywood" is pretty good about getting rid of stuff when they're done with it and not storing it for later. Not all the time, but it seems that way.

I wonder what ever happened to the truck !! I have seen it in scenes without the wrecker set up so it must have been stored somewhere. It seems that most of the shows and movies I have seen it in are from the 60's so it is probably history by now. The latest show I found it in is in one of the first season episodes of "Hogan's Heroes" The wrecking boom is gone and it has the standard canvas cover on the back. Bob Crane drives it in one scene. Again it is easy to see it is the same truck because of the spot light on the driver side window frame and the blinkers mounted on the tops of the fenders.
