There's a better picture of that Gene Winfield creation! (minus the bed ornament). I always lose track of what I posted on these picture threads. Thanks for some new ones.

Never seen one of these trucks sectioned before, but it makes scenes considering who's name is on the side.

I think you have one of the few rust free drivers left.

tanman722001 · 01-20-2012, 01:03 AM

I like that truck but is the bed lower then the rest of the body?Thats what the bodyline look like.Would be a nice one to fit up and take the rake off and drive it.

19Hoosierdaddies68 · 01-20-2012, 02:53 AM

Man this thread is awesome. Will you guys find me one to buy already? haha I would love a 67 to 72 to haul my 67 camaro around on to shows...I seen one for sale here in california about a year ago on Craigslist I think and wasnt really looking for one at the time.

Lippyp · 01-20-2012, 07:41 AM

There was a 70 C30 for sale over here a couple of years ago, just a bare chassis cab but with the frame already stretched. Would have made a great ramp truck but no cash, no room and no need for one.

This is in the northern part of the state. Doesn't look too far gone.

Petie724x4 · 01-23-2012, 05:02 PM

Has anybody here ever built a slantack? I have a 1ton and would love to put a slantback on, but I don't see too many around. Are they the kind of things people built on their own back in the day, or were they mostly bought from manufacturers?

as far as I know they were all built individually, I don't think they were ever manufactured

CrewCab59 · 01-23-2012, 07:11 PM

Hodges has been making them in the 1st part of the 70's.

**special-K** · 01-23-2012, 10:58 PM

www.hodgescustomhaulers.com ...I'm sure many were professionally built at other truck upfitter shops. You'll notice many in this thread are built the same. Hodges have evolved into a lower flatter deck. They are primarily used for used car transport by used car wholesalers and dealers.

tanman722001 · 01-24-2012, 08:28 AM

They make some cool beds

coops714x4 · 01-24-2012, 10:59 AM

I learned something there... is there a way of telling, like a nameplate or some way to identify one of these hauler beds ?

**special-K** · 01-25-2012, 07:40 AM

Not sure about that,Coop.I imagine maybe a bigger shop might have an ID tag.

coops714x4 · 01-25-2012, 10:09 AM

does hodges "mark" there haulers now ? if so I would think they would have done it back then too. the bed I just pulled off of my 72 C30 was made by American trailers, it had a big ID tag right on the back of it.

*Achevytruck* · 02-17-2012, 02:28 PM
