newstang79 · 06-04-2009, 09:21 PM

This is one of my 72's hauling a trailer 250 miles to wife's parents house. Ran and drove great up and back til on I 80 just past the 235 mixmaster the hanger must have broke on the rh side exhaust cause it went boom and in the mirror went the muffler to 1/2 the exhaust manifold. Picked it up drove the rest of the way to it's storage in Kellogg. Put a new manifold on it, just as good now. It runs and drives well, but I miss my 72 Highlander with the 402 for pulling. It just got too rusty, towards the end before it's retirement it had ratchet straps under the cab so the doors would open and close. Still runs great just need to start swapping out to the new frame.

lilred67 · 06-04-2009, 10:11 PM

here is a pic of both my beaters

**special-K** · 06-05-2009, 08:44 AM

I tow anything that needs towed.I only have a couple pictures.
Sometimes it`s hard to decide what to hook to first:

Well,can`t see the truck:

The handy little trailer:

This took two hauls in:

and one out:

Wasted Income · 06-05-2009, 09:43 AM

The only thing mine hauls anymore is asssssssss!!!!

When I need to do some hauling, the Duramax is called to duty

grancuda · 06-05-2009, 09:47 AM

Don't have any pics with my '72 but I do with my '85 I had before I got the '72. Both of these were about 11hr drives to get these cars and the original 305/700r did better than expeceted.

I did haul my boat trailer w/the car hauler once when I redid the boat trailer.

BB72CHEVKT · 06-05-2009, 10:49 AM

The boat stays in a slip during the summer.

**michael bustamante** · 06-05-2009, 11:20 AM

this is what I haul

big_al_71 · 06-05-2009, 12:41 PM

The only thing hauls is my chairs,cooler, kids bikes etc but that is about it..Everything else gets pulled with one of my company toyota tundras...

**Yukon Jack** · 06-05-2009, 01:31 PM

I recently towed my K5 to get it's exhaust done

Occasionally haul a buddy's tractor so I can grade my drive

Once I hauled my truck's bed

UltraBlue71 · 06-05-2009, 02:27 PM

Some guys just use blazers, with a gooseneck plate on the tailgate!
