Tow Rigs Lets see them

A buddy would like to build this into a hauler, owner won't part with it though.

 

Here's a picture of the truck I just bought a couple weeks ago. I have had the gasser going on 5 years now and have been trying to buy the truck ever since. My website has the story and the history of both vehicles. I am going to try to get updated photos in a week or so. The truck has been sitting outside the last 5 years and paid the price. On the good side, if you want to call it that is, it is in the same condition since the accident 35 years ago. The really cool part is the custom interior that matches the car! Go to my website for the complete story and more pictures.

 

Here is the other picture from the rear.

 

My old 37 Chevy truck towing the BFD. Truck was sold about 7 years ago now, always thought this was a cool pic:


My COE has a hitch that does haul a trailer, I can also put a lot of junk on the flatbed:


For serious towing I use my OT late model 92 Chevy dually. Lowered suspension and 454 with Whipple supercharger. Also have an OT 88 F-250 4x4 diesel with turbo that works well towing. The COE has a 350 SBC, no comparison to the power of either of the newer trucks.

 

Here's HAMBer @rich roberts' rig ... a 1941 GMC COE with a Streamlined Car Trailer:

Nobody can top post #65, but here was mine..

 

That is what I call eye candy!

Anyway, I saw this set-up, last year at a tractor show, I thought it was awesome. It was a display from a local Kubota dealer who bought the truck new in 51 to deliver new Ford tractors in!

I had this rig in Dawsonville last month for the 2011 Moonshine Festival.

 

Nice, saw both there!

 

Man Hemi32 that is 1 Bitchin` hauler do you use it ???

 

right now its a 88 chev 1 ton 2wd 454/th400.... but have been getting parts together to build a 1956 ford coe. hope to start on it this spring

 

I'm in 261 inline/4 spd

 

I love this thing and so cool to find out that it belongs to a hamber

 

My two. The red one has an 8.1 and the crew cab has a 454 stroker with 489 ci

 

72 GMC 3/4 Ton Sierra Grande, 402 big block, factory air and 8 lug wheels.

 

I saw this at Back to the 50's in St. Paul a number of years ago. I wish I had more info.

 

WOW! That is one wild set-up. I guess the owner found a way to finally be able to haul more than a pack of smokes in a hot rod!

 

No picture with me but I am working on a 57' F-100 to haul with. I think I will be bagging the rear or at lease air-assist. Already running a 429, C-6, 9" combo w independant front/disks. Should be a great little tow vechicle if I ever figure out how to do the custom hitch I want.

 

any inside pix of truck and trailer??

 

The hot rod above (at 1:08 PM) is not the only roof mounted trailer.

Talk about easy backing up a trailer, you don't even have to put the car in reverse!

1941 chevy with an O/T cummins 4bt. pulls like a champ!

 

This is my favorite. Got to love them ol Plymouth's and Poly engines!

 

That is so great it hurts to see it. Damn that's cool!!!!

 

This setup was in one of the rod magazines a few years back. I do remember it stating it has a BBC and from the looks of the exhaust ports I think so.

 

Here's my Ford ramp truck hauling my 62 Falcon vintage dirt modified.

 

When I saw it at BTTF's, it had a 385 series Ford in it. Although its a crappy pic, it looks like the distributor is in the front.

 

Agreed.While most the tow rigs I've seen on this thread are awesome, to me, this one looks like it is the most "realistic" combo as far as something you would have seen in the '60's.

 

A bit O/T but I still love it 440/727

 

lets see some more tow rigs

 

Ford GT40 + Cobra Haulers
