Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

No,that's my wrecker and it has a Wreckmaster rig and a single boom. I've had that other picture a long time and don't recall where I got it from...sorry.
Hey Brad,you realize your truck is a single wheel C/20 that someone put a C/30 rear and springs under when they stretched the frame and built that body,right? A truck from the factory with dual rear wheel option also got the spacers and Budds on the front.
That would be a cool engine in there. Numbers matching would matter for a '72 with a 402 listed on the SPID. But,this truck is a '67

This one is parked at a body shop in Cleveland, GA. Been seeing it there for years.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

Here's mine, one of the best purchases I have made.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

I really like the 71-2 nose better than my 69. Might have to change mine.

Some really Cool beasts in this thread, would love to have my own some day.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

Traded a 1947 F**d 4 door sedan for this back in August. Still a work in progress as we're new to the idea of Chevy trucks. But we REALLY like'em!

We want to use it to haul THIS around to various places where it would be impractical (read: too far) to drive.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

71/72s need something done about turn signals with a push bumper where 67-70s don't. I kinda like 69/70s for tow trucks and plow trucks. I've even swapped to that grille on a '71 plow truck. On my '71 tow truck I have the factory signals behind the grille in the upper corners fastened to the surround.
That's a cool hauler. Love the speedster,too

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

Took this today, sorry its so hard to see he wasn't home, and i wasn't going to stroll up in there without permission, but its a 70. I was offered it once and i declined, it got a weird tow unit. Once i have some cash, i may go see if i can buy it. it was 350 4 speed he told me, was a great truck untill he got a flatbed and parked it where it sits.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics

Blazerman,
That black flatbed with the lizard green military crane on it is just my style....can you share any more info? Also that roll back looks pretty sweet as well. Wish I was in a position to pick that up.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

That truck was on Ebay yeras ago..I remember the truck was in New York and it was an original Napco conversion..I think he wanted like 3 grand and it didnt sell.
I'm with you on that rollback, would be a nice truck to have around!

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

Another Truck with Air Brakes and under CDL. Interesting. When I was looking for a Roll Back back in '08, I would have definitely gone for that one.

Nice truck at a reasonable price.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

I am trying to talk my bro in law into this one right now.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

Interesting the Orange broken arrow Napco and the Black one Are Both Dayton rears with budd fronts, I would not have thought they would have Mixed and matched. I think I am going to start looking for a nice Heavy front axle to go under mine... I been an all wheel drive guy for too long to not at least try on my current build. anyone know where I can get a 6.17 Ratio 5 ton front axle ?

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

I'll ad my 2 cents. My 68 C-30 "wedge". Definatly home built, haven't used it much, needs an engine. Might get one this week. The PO painted the wheels red but they're chome underneath. I'm ready to start workin it. Would have come in handy today, went and picked up a 68 SWB for another member.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

I use my 1/2 ton daily drivers to do all my hauling

Yep, no DRW option on mine.

That picture of the drag haulers is one of my favorites.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

Just to add a little extra info, generally speaking, it is also possible for someone to take a C-30 and put C-20 Front Hubs on it.

Bill

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

That Jenkins truck would be great find today.:metal: What a peice of history. On a side note, last spring I sold my, gulp, 69 F-350 DRW to a guy in New Jersey that is restoring a another F-350 wedge that was pretty well known on the east coast, Guess it hauled a funny car then later a fuel dragster. Real sharp truck even for a FORD. At least it was the right vintage.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

Makes my wonder what happen to all these Race car haulers. They must be rotting away somewhere.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

That big wrecker is cool. I drove a semi like that a long time ago, it had the V 12 with a 5 and 4 transmission.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
 

Great Jungle Pam video, good to see Jim in it too:metal: Makes me miss the glory days of Drag Racing. What a legend.
