Again...I know this is a G3 site, but this is just too cool not to share. Came across this antique tow truck with manual winch the other day. Wouldn't this be cool to restore and display?!!

This one belongs to the owner of the company i work for. It was bought new in the 30's . I think its a 35? Lincoln. Was orignally a touring car that was turned into a tow truck by a local coach builder back then. Has been in the family ever since and is currently being brought back to driving condition. It runs, but I havent seen it move yet.

I agree. I've been looking for something to build for years, but here in the northeast everything is slowly turning into soil.

Look's like a 48-50 Furd? What're those other goodies in the foreground?

Sweet Lincoln, just blow the dust off of it and drive it to a show. Smile

Couple more pics of cars/truck sitting near the tow truck. Gotta love the patina on these. Can you say Rat Rods?

Yes, that's what i'm sayin!! Smile I'd love to chop and drop that late 40's Chevrolet panel delivery. Cool

Looks like a Buick in the bottom photo, not sure what's behind it tho. scratch

That winch system in the back looks a little crazy

I've got this
Old Photo Tow Truck 101_1102
Old Photo Tow Truck 101_1105
and my dad has this
Old Photo Tow Truck Wtruck
Old Photo Tow Truck Winch4

Both run and drive, and are for sale if anyone's interested. I really wanted to keep the Studebaker, but oh well, as far as trucks go my heart lays with utes. Which makes me crave a Coupe Express to go with the '59 El Camino I want.
