You hook chains or straps to the lower part of the frame or suspension and through the grab hooks on the lower part of the sling then place the rubber portion of the sling against the bumper/valance part of the car this will allow the sling attachment control the vehicle's forward and back movement and response to inertia. You then, depending upon your wrecker's configuration raise your recovery boom and or winch to lift the vehicle off of the ground. In extreme cases you my have to put lumber or other blocking devices under your chains to space the chains off of things that they may scratch or dent when the vehicles weight is applied to them
by placing as close to the sling as possible then strapping the frame to the slip with straps.
Tow trucks generally hook up to the car with the tow cable and they will pull the car and 2 wheels will ride on the road. A flatbed tow truck will use the tow cable to pull the car up on the bed and let it ride there.
The best place to find some tow trucks for sale would be a car lot. Car lots can be found across the United States as they sell a wide variety of cars including tow trucks.
Well if you are talking about which trucks would be good for a tow truck. I would be using a Hino if i was in Australia. Very good and relibalbe trucks. Thanks =] Macka
Depends on the tow capacity of your truck. The bigger tow trucks can easily haul the mack trucks.

Tow trucks tow automobile vehicles!
Sure can. Look at those big RV's on the road ... most are pulling a car using a tow bar.
If you are in the Northwest, fleetsaleswest.com is a great place to check out. They sell new and used tow trucks. Fleetsaleswest also lease tow trucks and custom build them.
A tow truck is a wooly head
The best way of towing a truck ironically is using an even bigger truck to tow the broken truck with. Even semi trucks use other semis to tow each other around.
U-Haul does not permit their trucks to be taken into Mexico, so no.
