Hello, I own a 1929 tow truck with a Warford crane in the back. I'd like to complete the little truck with some original towing gear, dating from the correct period. Does anyone have any towing gear ( a-frames, hooks, towbars... ) or pics of that kind of stuff? Would appreciate response, Erwin, Belg...

Hi Dave, maybe strange to get an answer from Belgium, but I also have a AA ford with a Weaver one ton crane.. I was also missing the plaquettes and I solved the problem as follows : I took a picture from the internet, enlarged it to the correct size, printed it out and had a negative cast made in pl...

This is my tow truck, quite rare in Europe

Hello Neil.

Great drawings !!!! I suppose I can make something which comes close to the original tools.

Gives a great feeling having a car in tow behind the old Ford ; makes people look twice .

Thanks again, Erwin.

Hi guy's, I'm looking for the towing gear to make my '29 aa tow truck complete. Does anyone know what those tow trucks had on board? Has anyone of you an idea how the tow equipment looked like? I have a Weaver crane in the back, and a A bar on the rear, with two heavy canvas straps to go under the t...

Drew,

haven't got the carb. open yet, but I don't thinks so. The engine starts and idels perfectly.
When I screw the mixture jet in, the engine stops, so that's normal.

Erwin.

Hi Guy's,' I've got a problem : My '29 AA backfires when I want " power " to climb a hill or a bridge, and also backfires when I put the trottle down. I can feel the power dropping away when I push the trottle down. The problem is not always there, sometimes I can do 20 to 30 miles without...

Hi, me again. Has anyone had any experience in installing a Mitchell overdrive in the torque tube of a 29 AA truck? Any idea about the possibilities or the difficulties in doing so? All suggestions welcome at v.erwin@belgacom.net Any other means of making the truck go a little faster would be welcom...

Hi, I'm Erwin Verrijt and I own a 1929 tow truck. You can find some pics of it on the forum under Belgium tow truck. I'm searching for a Warford overdrive to put in the truck, so I can keep up ( or at least try...) with city traffic. If someone has one hidden away somewhere, please let me know. You ...

Just found out the pictures in the original mail came off the internet. Our UK friend Mr FeliX Mathins ( or Martins or alias Smith or Jones...) used the pics of a 1929 dumper belonging to mr Paul Williamson of Massachussetts. They came out of the OldCarTrader.com site.... I informed the real owner o...

Follow up : PARTS UK I found out the guy who wanted me to buy his truck is a Nigerian internet-con! He, nor his "shipping agent " want to give me a phone number or a traceable adress or firm name. I found his name " FELIX MATHINS " or FELIX MARTINS " on several crime sites; ...

Just had a mail. I'm to pick up the truck next week. Will keep you posted.
( by the way :Antwerp - UK is trough the Chunnel tunnel only 130 miles so it's worth the effort.)

george, I know I got to have some faith, but I already asked 3 times for an adress en phone. No reply, Always a demand for a advance payment. The guy has sent me some pictures, but all in the same place. No reference to an adress. + he is selling the truck for a very, very low price. I told him I wo...

Hi Guys I recently placed an ad stating I was searching a Warford overdrive for my '29. I was contacted by a guy in the UK, who wanted to sell one to me. It should be taken out of a running truck. I agreed to buy the whole truck, but he wants an advance trough Western Union?? No bank account, no pho...
