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.

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!

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.

greywuuf · 01-09-2012, 12:17 AM

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

greywuuf · 01-09-2012, 12:20 AM

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 ?

haminator · 01-09-2012, 12:42 AM

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.

grancuda · 01-09-2012, 01:13 AM

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

Topeka to Tulsa

Denver to Tulsa

Chicago to Tulsa

Some more:

**RenoKeene** · 01-09-2012, 09:50 AM

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.

C10 - C90 Bill · 01-09-2012, 10:37 AM

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

haminator · 01-09-2012, 02:59 PM

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.

**special-K** · 01-10-2012, 08:58 AM

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!

coops714x4 · 01-10-2012, 11:59 AM

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

no moa · 01-11-2012, 11:43 AM

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.
