Hot Rods Well this ramp truck should help motivate me to go to the track!

    I bought 19.5 inch rear wheels to match the front to try to give the truck a 60s feel, but I feel like the rear tires are a little bit too small. Not a lot of choices for tire sizes for these big wheels on the market. Since I'll be installing an 80's chevy truck front disc brake system in the future, I bought new front wheels to match the rears as well. image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

    Dude, it’s parked more than it drives, you are welcome to come and use it anytime you need.
    But only in the state of California.

    Looks great, and even better with the Willy's loaded up and ready to go. Very nice.

    I love this setup. I have a old ramp truck hauler for my Willys as well. Look forward to taking it to the track.

    THATS AWESOME! It looks like you have the same front and rear wheels as I do.

    Mine has the 16.5's that have been on it forever. Not as many tire options but i hope to leave it this way. I have known this hauler all my life and chased it for a decade to get it. It has a winch made from a chevy starter and flywheel and a 3/8 racket extension. I love it. It does need better brakes.
    I love all the old haulers especially with a willys on back.

    That starter is a cool idea.

    Good brakes are important to me, that's why I bought the donor 80's 1 ton.

    You got a great rig going. Mine is basically a restoration on my hauler but I may update the front brakes but leave the steering and suspension stock.
