Re: Ford trucks and other stuff
Thanks for sharing Ted. I’m always looking for good pictures of old trucks, mainly to help with restorations, so I’ll stay tuned.

Re: Ford trucks and other stuff
Thanks so Much! Did you build the tow truck body from scratch? Seems I saw an earlier photo with it mocked up with one fender.

Re: Ford trucks and other stuff
Now those are trucks to be admired. I like old cars but love old trucks of any size or vintage. The truck thing probably comes from being a log truck driver when I was young.

Re: Ford trucks and other stuff
I'd strongly suggest to go enjoy the early '30's Ford service car at the Beller Museum in Romeoville Illinois,

Re: Ford trucks and other stuff
So the paint job on the tow truck in the video was recently applied? If so, it's the best job of it I have ever seen.

Re: Ford trucks and other stuff
And Epper, I love the two tone in your avatar. Can you post up some pics. I have a red pickup too, but that red/white is so retro!
