SE Indiana. This mostly restored Model T tow truck belongs to the father of an acquaintance who invited the Snakedoctor and me to visit their country retreat in the hills of SW Indiana. There were probably 40 or more mostly Model A's from a Cincinnati group and a lot of fried chicken. We took a ton of photographs and had a great time, but probably could never find our way back to the place over back and unpaved roads.

Evanston area of Cincinnati, Ohio. I was driving to a photo shoot with the Snakedoctor when I passed by a Mack dump truck that I've been meaning to shoot for a long time. There it was on the hook of this beauty. I've been watching for tow trucks, but most seem to be boring flat beds these days so, I quickly parked and got a few images. While there, I had a nice chat with the Pete's driver, Jeff. He informed me that there is an annual tow truck show in Mason, Ohio that I hope to attend in the Fall. I then watched the Mack being hauled away to who knows where, but it doesn't look like it was headed for a good destination. Just think, if you had a cool half a million burning a hole in your pocket, you could be the proud owner of a rig like this.

Ohio. Another view of the truck to better show how it is decorated for Halloween. Note the body under the front tire.

2011 Pumpkin Run National held at the Clermont County Fairgrounds in Owensville, Ohio. A fixture at car shows in the Cincinnati area, this 1937 GMC cab over engine is a show stopper and may be my favorite of all times. I've taken an unbelievable number of pictures of various details of it as well as the entire truck. Unfortunately, I never seem to catch it in the right setting and light to do justice to the entire vehicle. Any time I see Chuck, the owner, I say "Love the truck" hence the title. Although it has changed some over the years, he says he has no plans to paint it or fix it up more he has. I hope he doesn't.
Update 10/22/2012 Turns out that Chuck has a whole fleet of trucks. I went to his place to get some shots of the other ones. After shooting his, we jumped in the Big Red truck and went to his brother's place down the road to shoot some of his collection. Having had a ride in this truck, I feel like I am fulfilled. Chuck told me that he got this truck from one of the Dakotas.

SW Ohio. This old jewel was found on the side of the road where it is being used as a Halloween prop. My best guess is that it is a 1940 vintage, but I can't tie down the exact year. I would think it is pretty rare in this configuration.
