was It Once Used To Load Passengers On Airplanes???

67_C-30 · 11-24-2007, 11:46 PM

I can't imagine why you'd have those side rails on a ramp truck!

kelsfine69 · 11-25-2007, 01:00 AM

Looks Bent

Bishops Trucks · 11-25-2007, 01:10 AM

Someone just converted it to a stakebody. It would be a nice truck to have. Take the rails off and you still have the ramp truck.

Jerry Jones · 11-25-2007, 01:29 AM

Interesting!

hotrod 80 · 11-25-2007, 01:52 AM

Mobile/road side tire replacement truck .

Bishops Trucks · 11-25-2007, 02:13 AM

Someone used to haul their stock car on there.

va_tlc · 11-25-2007, 02:22 AM

i agree with bishops, tires goes up top

PanelDeland · 11-25-2007, 08:55 AM

Maybe he needed a work truck but did not want to give up his weekend car hauler.Or he could be scrapping and used his CH for the haul.

I agree. Mine had a tire rack on top similar when I first got it.

*Shane* · 11-25-2007, 09:26 AM

race car hauler ...

72BlckButy · 11-25-2007, 09:35 AM

The rack above the cab is to hold the extra tires.

c10addict · 11-25-2007, 10:21 AM

Thats one Hell of an air conditioner on the roof! I bet it gets cold inside!

**Shock_Me** · 11-25-2007, 10:24 AM

Neat. I like the black stepside in the background.

Dual purpose.... Cows by day... Cars by night!!!! LOL!!!

dastuck · 11-25-2007, 01:44 PM

redneck livestock trailer! Looks like something you would find around here. Even has a rack on top to store hay.

watahyahknow · 11-25-2007, 02:33 PM

i was thinking hay bail mover too

Longhorn Man · 11-25-2007, 05:12 PM

interesting that it has a 71/72 grill with no top bar or eyebrow trim, like a 67/68 would have.
I agree, it looks bent, high in the middle.
Still a neat truck

69halfton · 11-25-2007, 05:46 PM

i dont thgink its bent, i think its an illusion, i think the angle of the ramp and bars make it look so.

try to focus only on the bottom of the truck, look at the cab, and imagine where the frame would be, then look at the bottom of the ramp body.

i think it DID haul racecars. now haulin' cattle

franko72 · 11-25-2007, 05:59 PM

definately a race car hauler. probably good for round track. You could stand over the cab and see the race over top of everyone from the inside pit in the middle of track.?? Pretty neat old truck . first one i've seen like it.

fastom · 11-25-2007, 07:08 PM

I'm in Maui this week and I saw a 67 tow truck hooking a car up today. I wish I could have taken a picture of it.

hotrod 80 · 11-25-2007, 10:09 PM

Only reason I thought it was converted to tire truck was large compressor in back .
