Built to Last

By George L. Nitti 

When C&C Towing’s newest heavy-duty wrecker hits the road, it’s impossible to miss. With a blend of artistry, engineering, and tribute, this 2025 Peterbilt 567 fitted with a fully customized 30-ton wrecker unit is a symbol of national pride and personal remembrance. 

C&C Towing has been a family-owned and operated business in Dublin, Georgia, since 1980, specializing in heavy-duty towing and hauling. When it came time to build their newest wrecker, owner Casey Clark knew exactly where to turn: Custom Built LLC out of Kane, Pennsylvania. 

This new Peterbilt marks the seventh truck C&C Towing has built with Nick and Derek D’Angelo’s team. “They just get it,” says Casey. “We sat down and went through what we needed—something updated, highly visible, with plenty of storage and versatility—and they delivered again.” 

The truck is packed with thoughtful features to streamline operations and boost safety. It boasts a tunnel box and adjustable shelving in every compartment to accommodate a wide range of tools and equipment. Its high-body rear doors fold up to shield operators and tools from harsh weather, and an integrated handwashing station promotes cleanliness and safety on the job. Customized lighting, including Boogey underglow lights and illuminated handles, ensures better visibility during night operations. Every element was designed with the operator’s comfort, safety, and efficiency in mind. 

Visually, Casey turned to Bombshell Customs in Hiram, Georgia, where Todd Powell led the creative process for the truck’s wrap. The goal: honor America, celebrate the company’s roots, and raise awareness for breast cancer. 

The front of the truck unfurls into a bold American flag, brought to life with deep highlights, shadows, and layered graphics that give it movement and emotion. A steel, silver tow chain, drawn with a massive hand and arm, seems to tear back the layers of wrap, symbolizing the strength beneath the surface. Hidden within the intricate design—if you look closely—are eighteen layers of deep blues, among which the original C&C Towing logo is subtly embedded. 

The most touching details are reserved for Casey’s late mother, Kathie Clark, one of C&C’s original founders. Her actual signature—preserved from a stamp she once used—is incorporated into the pink ribbon on the truck, a tribute to her battle with breast cancer. Butterflies, her favorite symbol, flutter across the hood, sleeper, and truck number. When the hood folds open, it reveals two hands gently holding a cross, surrounded by butterflies. 

Building this wrecker was more than a business transaction; it was a collaboration between a family company, a trusted builder, and a skilled artist. C&C Towing’s newest truck reminds us: some things—like family, pride, and honor—are built to last.
