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.

Yep, no DRW option on mine.

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

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.

That Jenkins truck would be great find today.

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.

Losing track here. So,sorry if any are repeats.Some are member's trucks who haven't posted (hey,I waited)

haminator · 01-10-2012, 11:37 AM

The Jungle Jim truck would be even better historically speaking. MAN!

here is a video about Jungle Jim and Pam (I think she stole the show or at least was an equal part of it)....

Great Jungle Pam video, good to see Jim in it too

Makes me miss the glory days of Drag Racing. What a legend.

Poor C30.It looks sad

stsalvage · 01-17-2012, 12:09 PM

I had my eye on one of the long flat bed tow trucks from Riverside Race way In Calif The one that have a major slant to them to me are very unsafe.The more level and straight one's are more desired and way more easyer to load.I pretty sure they where the 15 or 16 foot beds with diamond plate

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

coops714x4 · 01-11-2012, 01:30 PM

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.

**special-K** · 01-12-2012, 09:48 AM

Yeah,that was back when I was into motor sports.

I Googled!

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)
http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/sh...aulers&page=37

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.
