1939 Ford Towtruck

Been enjoying watching your fabrication work here. The Boom looks great.

Excellent.

Real nice project!  Excellent scratch building!

[Nosferatu]

Thanks again for the nice comments!

I put in a few more hours on this. 
 

I scratch built the rails and they just need to be chromed. 

I also painted the boom and added the chain and hook. 

 

Thanks for looking

Excellent fabrication

Really nice project. Vintage commercials have an appeal all of the own! Following with interest.

Any updates on this? I need a fix.

Thanks. Nice teaser, I'll be watching for it under glass!

I really like those bed hand rails. Did you the styrene tube with wire inside for those?

The handrails are solid styrene rods and the mounts are tubing that I sanded down. I drilled holes in the bed edge and slid the rod inside.

Thanks. I'll be using that same tech on future project. I build 1930's and '40's travel trailer models in 1/25 and some have roof racks for luggage storage. That will work very well for replicating those.

Your great project has inspired me to gather parts and materials for a similar build using a 37 Ford pickup and military tires- this may end up as part of my Blue Ox Salvage collection.

All the curves work well together, the running boards, bed sides, fenders and the shape of the boom.
