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.

If that thing pulled up behind me I would think it was going to steal my soul then my car.

One of the best looking big trucks I've ever seen.

I would like to build one up just like the model.

tanman722001 · 01-12-2012, 09:20 PM

Here is my 1972 GMC 3500

coops714x4 · 01-12-2012, 09:46 PM

tanman that's a good looking dove tail. did you build it ?

tanman722001 · 01-12-2012, 10:02 PM

No I did bought it already built.I made and put the stacks on and rewired the winch and put the mirror aon and a few other thing.Working on get part gathered up and repaint it.

farmall · 01-12-2012, 11:32 PM

What did the 5 lug, 10lug rigs have for engine & trans?

markallen · 01-13-2012, 01:26 AM

where the weak will be killed and eaten lol

**special-K** · 01-13-2012, 07:56 AM

That black C/40 is fantastic! That music cracked me up...how fitting?...NOT!

I dunno about the visor,though,unless you're a serious humpback. Style is cool when it's functional but I like to see where I'm going.

Tanman,I dig that rig!

I'll take this black dovetail over that slammed rollback any day. It's plenty low enough for me. I like a truck like these to "look" like it can haul.

**special-K** · 01-13-2012, 08:00 AM

no moa · 01-13-2012, 09:45 AM

Very amazing pieces out there.

**special-K** · 01-13-2012, 10:34 AM

The picture of irony (Maybe just transporting):

C10 - C90 Bill · 01-13-2012, 02:38 PM

Nice looking truck.

I once saw a Tow Truck, towing a Tow Truck, towing a car.

farmall · 01-13-2012, 09:52 PM

Mike Burkhart was about 200 lbs overweight and hired drivers to run his cars. I knew him in the late 70s when he owned Auxillary Gas Tanks (a 4X4 shop) on the North side of Dallas/Farmers Branch where I spent alot of summer job money. I remember a black hauler parked at the shop and my boss at Dallas West Four Wheel Drive had a 67 or 8 crew cab hauler with a road race Corvette on it. Burkharts last driver was paralized in a 1/4 mile crash and worked behind a desk in the show room. Brought back alot of memories, thanks for the pics.

**special-K** · 01-14-2012, 06:18 AM

Farmall,thank you for sharing that little piece of history. I tell you,I get a great feeling seeing anything from the 60s-early 70s. I think that is something that adds to me love of these trucks...they were smack dab in the middle of the greatest era. But,boy,drag racing (and really all motorsports) hit a pinnacle at this time,just before it went so big time and homogenized that I really don't care for it any more (except small time local action).
