thats way cool post some more pics as you build this

 

I got it from 2 hours north of Boston,it was converted into a P/U in 1945 by the President of Smith & Wesson Firearms.......My Dad is going to Love it.....I will post more picts as time goes on...

 

You need to get in touch with the Packard Museume in Ft Lauderdale. They have what you want on the floor !

 

saw this old truck on RT 30 west of York, Pa in 2001.

 

This one, I think its a Buick, is a regular at shows in this area. These were taken at Hot Rod Arama a couple years ago, but I know I've seen it since.

I love old wreckers, and I'm looking for a chariot style wrecker body for my '54 GMC 1-ton.

 

PM povertyflats here on the HAMB... he's got a T or A wrecker he uses.

 

sure is interesting.

 

Very cool! Do you happen to have any pictures of it from when you found it?

ThrottleJockey has a pretty spiffy lookin' Diamond T up for grabs in the classifieds.
No hoist but I assume it was a wrecker?

owning an old wrecker is #1 on my long term list of vehicles I would like to own. I've got a few prospects at the moment.

Spotted this one in Chattanooga TN recently... on the way to the tow truck museum.

The Mack guys will love this one.

I'm looking for an Ashton wrecker bed like this my for my 1950 F6. They sure make life easier around the yard.

 

Looks like it is coming along very nicely. Thanks for the update.
