What do you haul your prizes home with? Pics?

It'll be a cool project for sure,getting the body off the bus could be interesting!

 

My parts hauler scares people. I jokingly call it the R.V. because its just so awful looking. Now it looks worse than the pic. It has a cap on the bed.

 

If its real light, I use my S10 and tow dolley. I am contimplating throwing my spare 350 and TH700-R4 into the S10, but I would like to keep it stick. Anyone have an S10 NV3500 kicking around?

If not.....I call my buddy bill with the 1 ton chevy and 10K rated trailer.

 

It gets the job done, Hope this will be the only time my roadster is on a trailer, got its exhaust system installed yesterday, almost there now!...

 

i pull my car hauler with my 90 chevy 454/4 speed dually, has just over 84k miles.



i haul the leftovers and rusty crap away in the back of my 76 dually dump truck



and i run parts with my caprice wagon. made a banzai run up to buffalo for a transmission last week and got 27 mpg.

 

I usally take this guy with. and i have a few trucks to chose from.

 

Man this makes me miss my '56 s-120 4x4

 

My tow rig the day I brought it home.

It's filthy, has a few dents, and is no show winner, but being able to pull a 6% grade and not lose any speed with 10k lbs on it sure kicks butt.

I get 17-19 mpg running on B100 back and forth to work. I fill it with B20 when towing.

For now, it's bone stock. It'll be seeing a Edge or Bullydog contoller likely by the end of the year though.

 

Found on E-Bay and bought for less than £350, my 1981 Mk5 Ford Cortina Estate. Had less than 40k on it when found a year ago but turned to just over 50k from new on this trip to pick up an Anglia.
Daily driver, tow car, rubbish removals, parts fetcher, it does it all. Bless.

 

This hauler even has wood sides for the stuff that falls out.
Chevy van 1-1/2 ton frame and drivetrain.

 

It's not THAT hideous!

It's actually kind of charming... like a really ugly 70s couch.

Which One? Nate

 

haha Thanks. She doesnt look like much but she will run at 80 mph all day with a trailer full. The body and trans are at 200K. The engine has wore out one truck and working on this one.

 

My 94 Ford short box and a boat trailer converted to hauling my motorcycle.

 

In that picture I had a whole 33 dodge pickup AND a 303 olds rocket in there somewhere.

 

I was actually driven to the church on my wedding day in an "uglytruck".

Towing your rod around is for squares. lmao.

 

We agree. We're talking about hauling your rod home BEFORE it's a rod. You know, barn finds, field finds... possibly unwise swap meet purchases.

53 C-600,cad 500cid,mid 80`s 1 ton chassis,12` deck, winch, ramps etc

 

OH... MY... GOD...

You need to post more pics of that wet dream, my friend.

This is my hauler the day I bought it back in '02. It will be back to work once I find an Allison and an Aux Tranny to replace the POS Dodge calls a Tranny. And yes, the current trans has a V/B and double coolers. Cummins 5.9 with Delphi injectors and an HX-40 through a 4" stack running 17* on the pump.

I really want to put my Van on this or a motorhome chassis.


Naturally, it needs a better paint job.
Something in a Swamp goo green metallic.

 

THAT PAINT JOB IS FANTASTIC!

For a second there, I couldn't see it!

A 85 1/2 ton Ford, I got free becuase me sister was tired of looking out her window at it

 

It intetesting what we use. He we tend to use larger rides, like trucks, vans etc.. overseas in England, they tow with what we consider compact cars.. I would never consider using a Ford Escort or a honda Accord wagon to tow another car. but I guess when you dont have F250 PU or even half tons you do what you have to..

 

Man, wouldn't folks in the UK stare at an F-350 Crew Cab Diesel Dualie going down the road... if it could fit in a lane.

Here's my 97 Dodge Ram P/U that tow dollied my Caddy home. BTW the truck is for sale to help fund the Cad, Damn it has a LOT of chrome that need some dippin' love. PM if interested.

 

I tow with this vintage '86 piece of rusted iron.... actually for a cheap tow rig its been a pretty good truck... its a 6.9L Diesel backed by a C-6 with a shiftkit. It will not win any races but It'll get the job done... the 8 cans of walmart dark blue and 3 cans of rustolium white helped a little i think... I use it to pull a 18 ft car trailer..

 

-1991 GMC extended cab/bed K2500 4X4. 220,000 miles. Zebra-striped interior, smitty-bilt bumper, rollbar, stainless-steel headers, w/Milodon scoop and owner-sprayed flames. A real Hyundai-mover...

 

I've got a '60 Cadillac. Boy, don't I know how much chrome these babies have... tell me about it.

My toy- 83 chevy rollback. I'd like to put a 58-59 cab on it some day.

Going to Blue Suede cruise at Norwalk - don't want a hitch on the biscayne so I had to haul it.
