Just a couple of points..most gun tractors seem to be equipped with extra overload leaf springs in the rear, but not all.. anybody know about this feature?
I bought a Ford guntractor/ tow truck many years ago from a small rural garage in New Dundee Ontario. It had been bought new in 1946 from the Ford dealer in Kitchener as apparently they were given first offerings of new military vehicles at the wars end. It came with a stylish rear body which included rear wheel skirts. It was equipped with a hand powered weaver car crane, The operator told me the winch was only used to pull customers out of the ditch or etc. It survives, restored to this day in the Hockley Valley!
