60-66 Chevy And Gmc Towing Vehicles

How many use their 60-66 Chevy or GMC's as a towing vehicle? Lets see some pics of Trucks, Suburbans or Panels used when towing camping trailers, boats, flat beds, other vehicles, etc. Here are a few.

Still have the trailer,

Ex walked from the front to the back of the trailer when it was unhooked from the truck in her carport,and crushed the rear quarters and caught the tailgate on the water faucet she was trying to reach, while the neighbors bicycles were leaning against the sides. So much damage so little time! Still have the trailer, did I mention Ex? LMAO.
