From the before and after division of the project car department comes this 1934 Ford BB wrecking truck. The former tow truck is shown here in before condition, after the heavy-duty Ford made the journey to South San Francisco by way of the windy rusty city of Chicago. Bob McLennan of Champion Speed Shop fame picked up the project up off eBay and had it shipped out west for future restification into a working tow and show truck. The wrecker was sitting in the previous owner’s yard for so long that most everyone has forgotten where it came from originally. What is known is that it is still a Ford, and started out as a one and one-half ton truck from the factory.

Dude. That’s sweet. I love the look of it right now. All low slung and sort of slammed, I hope the after to this after-before is more street rod than tow utility tow rig. I particularly like the shot of the front wheel that sort of gives the impression of the whole thing being on the low side once it’s completed.
Any idea when this project might get underway? It would be nice to keep up with as it progresses.

Methinks Eastwood (makers of a fine rust converter and encapsulator) should sponsor this build.
