Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

special K where do you get all these cool pics ??

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

I Googled! :lol: Man,if you Google early race car haulers you will find quite a few,but if you click next to some of the pictures it will take you where the picture was posted. I ended up on this site with a 37 page thread on old race hauler pics! GM,Ford,Dodge...bigtime/smalltime racers. It was yellowbullet.com (They sure have a stupid motto...you'll see)

Also,most pictures in Google will take you to a thread on Jalopy Journal.

The last one posted is kinda weird looking with the regular wheel base.

One of the best looking big trucks I've ever seen.

where the weak will be killed and eaten lol

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

That black C/40 is fantastic! That music cracked me up...how fitting?...NOT! :lol: I dunno about the visor,though,unless you're a serious humpback. Style is cool when it's functional but I like to see where I'm going.

Tanman,I dig that rig!

I'll take this black dovetail over that slammed rollback any day. It's plenty low enough for me. I like a truck like these to "look" like it can haul.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

Nice looking truck.

I once saw a Tow Truck, towing a Tow Truck, towing a car.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

Mike Burkhart was about 200 lbs overweight and hired drivers to run his cars. I knew him in the late 70s when he owned Auxillary Gas Tanks (a 4X4 shop) on the North side of Dallas/Farmers Branch where I spent alot of summer job money. I remember a black hauler parked at the shop and my boss at Dallas West Four Wheel Drive had a 67 or 8 crew cab hauler with a road race Corvette on it. Burkharts last driver was paralized in a 1/4 mile crash and worked behind a desk in the show room. Brought back alot of memories, thanks for the pics.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

Farmall,thank you for sharing that little piece of history. I tell you,I get a great feeling seeing anything from the 60s-early 70s. I think that is something that adds to me love of these trucks...they were smack dab in the middle of the greatest era. But,boy,drag racing (and really all motorsports) hit a pinnacle at this time,just before it went so big time and homogenized that I really don't care for it any more (except small time local action).
