Projects Anyone Rod a tow truck???

Yes, it is too cool!

 

I'd like to make a tow truck out of my '78 Ford pickup. Just dreamin.

 

breeder let me see it... i have a coe waiting.

 

Hell yes now thats what I'm talking about!

 

If ths was closer I'd be all over it. Always liked AD series cabovers, ugly as shit but sorta cute. Throw in a wrecker bed and it's perfect.

 

hey.. replicate the one from Mad Max Road Warrior!!!

 

I would kill for the roadwarrior truck, I used that snake graphic on a blown 65 nova

 

Not necessarily a wrecker but im doing this treatment to my 49 dodge

my truck:




nice bed idea

 

I think I have seen it all now.

 

I suspect it's more a restoration or a survivor than a hot rod but, I snapped this during the 10 minutes it didn't rain at the Nats South. I thought it was pretty neat. I don't know why I didn't get a pic of the business end.

 

​

A GM engine, tranny and rear end, plus a camaro front? Why even use a Dodge if your going to put all that GM stuff in it. Not to mention the wrecker boom is fake, so what's the point of making it a tow truck. Seems like a waste of a good Dodge.

 

I bet your missing a few of your front teeth, guys with big mouths usually are

Love the last couple of pics of the Ford tow truck, just not too sure about those douchebag kids leaning up against the hood though.

saw a wicked 53 chevy tow truck down in myrtle beach...

 

...insert foot.....

 

No insert needed... Im not saying they were bad... They dress and act as they do for the SHOCK factor.... and being labled a douchbag by certain people would not and should not get a rise or any Ill emotion.... as I said needed to pull the pants down to the knees to be the rest of the part. and probably would have been taken as a compliment from said party. I cant type for shit and if it is taken wrongly sorry

Back on topic the truck rocks though

 

Shock factor for you is a sideways hat and saggy shorts??How where they acting???? So they should conform and not be an individual? You sound like the typical internet prick...but I wouldn't want to stereotype...

 

Well said....................

 

this is my flatbed 42' dodge 2-1/2 ton. It has a 4 speed truck tranny, and a 239 flathead 6.

I haul stuff all the time on it. Its an old work truck, and i still use it for what it was made for

 

Cheap N Dirty,
Was this the one that was at Wendover 2 years ago"" Way cool!!

 

Haha this thing is all over the net! I searched hot roded wreckers and this was the first thing that came up! I came across one forum where they are praising the hell out of this thing.

 

Just came back from a car show today and there was 40 Ford done up real nice !

 

took the words out of my mouth that douche bag needs to pull his pants up looks like he should be standing in front of a honda

 

All right, this thread with the guys bitching about the younger guys need to shut the fuck up. You seem to forget say the 50s or early 60s when you guys were "greasers" with your white tshirts and cigs rolled up in your sleeve, or hey, what about the 60s and 70s, when afros were popular and you were a "hippie" Who gives a shit, theyre all hotrodders, this isnt fucking the Cosmo forum, this is about hotrods, and have some respect for the guy come on. And yes...i happen to be one of those "douchebags" too with my loose pants and my sideways hat, yeah well guess what i dont have a honda.

 

Here's 1 i'm working on,not HAMB friendly ,but it's rodded

 

i designed and built this one a few years back.

 

What waste of some cool parts dual tires sshhhh.
