From CHiPs Online:
You can spot the tow truck from "Tow Truck Lady" with "Danny's Towing Service" written on the door during the opening credits and after Tom gets in an accident with the Glinco truck.

After the truck loses its wheel, it rolls over and we see all its wheels in place.

Ponch: What do you mean by that?
