Off topic but it is still a Ford

I just added some new pics of my latest find. It's not F-series, but it is still a ford. It is a 1929-ish Model AA Tow Truck. It is in really rough shape.

It will most likely be used as a parts truck. I got it mostly for the hoist assembly. I am looking for another AA Truck that is in better condition and has decent sheet metal. I plan on restoring it back to original with a few improvements.

My wife would shoot me if I dragged something like that home but I think it's a cool truck. I have seen people start with a lot less and end up with a really nice vehicle. Hope you can get it up and running.

IMO, Model A's and T's are in a class all their own. Good luck with it.
Couple neighbors down the road have'em...sure is neat when they putt on by.

The original engine put out about 24 hp. With a new head and a few speed mods, the engine can put out up to ~75 hp and still look somewhat stock. The BB trucks of the 1930's had the V8s.
