    Well got my little tow truck figures out and build between weeks in the hospital
    and to sick to get out there, but man it felt so good when I could get up the gumption to get er done.
    This was made with walnut and oak.
    The wheels were left overs from other projects.
    I used the oldest tanker plans from Toys and Joy to make the frame and bonnet so I would think this is a ton and a half body style.
    I lowered the roof down a tad and also the frame for a more custom look not as much of a wooded toy look?
    The crane was modeled after what was used at the time for many a home built tow truck.

    Time to dig in the plan box and find a new plan to play with. lol

    Bruce,

    Agree wholeheartedly with what Peter wrote.

    A job well done under difficult circumstances.

    Up to your excellent workmanship standards

    Hope you are now well and truly on the mend.
